Creating a melodious EDM track for his debut vehicle in 2009, Edward Maya, with Stereo Love, delivered a number that continues to be considered a classic among music aficionados. In the years that followed, the Romanian DJ often spoke about being mesmerised by the Indian music culture, making the country a place he is certain to frequent when on tour. Maya, who was in India last week to promote his latest release, Harem, is currently showcasing his upcoming album and art concept show, The Legends of Mayavin.

"For the first time, I came to India [to present] a small part of a grand concert [show], which I have worked on over the last few years. The Legends of Mayavin includes ethnic instruments from Europe and Asia, including the pipe, flute and bansuri, along with electronic rhythms," Maya tells mid-day over e-mail. The show sees him transform his songs into concert suites, and attempts to preserve ancient world melodies to present them to the new generation.
