MUMBAI: From the launch in 2017, BACARDÍ Sessions has continued its commitment to indie artists and showcased incredible talent in the subsequent years. It has also supported these artists’ milestones, and brought the country some of its most beloved tracks. Now in season four, it’s all set to present artists across music, art and dance a chance to do what moves them and to collaborate with Nucleya and Vidya Vox.

The first season received an overwhelming response with over 2500 entries from musicians across genres, and ever since, the platform has grown stronger every year. The second season brought popular and celebrated musicians Amit Trivedi, Benny Dayal and Mohini Dey onboard to guide, nurture and promote upcoming musicians with their tracks. BACARDÍ also continued their commitment to upcoming artists by supporting Ritviz’s debut album launch for ‘Ved.’ And the third season introduced the spirit of ‘Do What Moves You’ by giving artists and dancers a platform to express themselves freely through their art and feature in music videos for Ritviz’s track ‘Liggi’ and ‘Chalo Chalein’. With ‘Thandi Hawa’, Bacardi Sessions & Ritviz wanted to bring music lovers together to let loose and express themselves freely from the safety of their homes to get a chance to be featured in the official music video. Videos poured in from across the world of fans expressing their own unique talents, creativity and passion, all to the tune of the song.

Ritviz announced season 4 on an Insta Live, while sharing his journey with the platform ever since ‘Udd Gaye’ became an instant hit.
