From slums to LaLaLand: “From Slums to LaLaLand” ✨
For , it truly became reality in 2025.

Last year these incredibly talented young musicians from the slums of Mumbai travelled to the Netherlands to perform at LaLaLand Festival. And what a journey it was. We had to arrange literally everything — from passports to visas — and for some of them it was the very first time ever leaving India. The first time on a plane. The first time in Europe.

Before performing at LaLaLand, we took them to Amsterdam’s Vondelpark for spontaneous performances, where people instantly gathered around them. Their energy, rhythm and joy were simply contagious. 🥁

And then they played at LaLaLand Festival… unforgettable.

The audience felt it immediately: this was more than music. This was talent, hope, resilience and pure spirit. And yes… they even made it onto Dutch national children’s news, the ❤️

So special to now see their Dutch adventure still being featured in Delhi’s newspaper Delhi Age with the headline: “From Slums to LaLaLand.

This is exactly why LaLaLand exists: creating encounters, opening doors and celebrating the power of music across worlds ✨🎶🇮🇳🇳🇱

So beautiful to see how composer connects so deeply with Indian music.

Just like Felix van Lamsweerde, father of one of the founders of LaLaLand Festival, who at the age of 14 was touched by the sounds of the sarangi.

What makes it even more special is that — one of the world’s greatest sarangi players and the man who made the first two editions of LaLaLand unforgettable — is the guru of 25-year-old Arjan.

For Felix, hearing the sarangi marked the beginning of a lifelong dedication to Indian music. And for Arjan… perhaps the same.

Seeing this lineage — of the sarangi, from guru to student, across generations finding each other — is exactly what LaLaLand stands for.

We are honored that Sabir Khan performed at our festival, and proud that this musical tradition continues to live on.

✨ Classical Indian music is a world of listening, feeling, and passing it on.

🎶 Watch and listen on YouTube.

By day, Madhavi is building brands. By night (and weekends), she’s building bridges, through food, culture, and community.

As a brand marketeer, she’s spent several years translating strategy, insights and experiences across Europe and Asia. She’s brought that same energy to what she loves most: Indian food, stories, and community building in Amsterdam - the kind of passion that LaLaLand Festival is all about.

Madhavi was instrumental in helping us reach the expat and Indian communities for LaLaLand Festival. And for curating the food market. She’s the perfect bridge - living and working in Amsterdam while carrying deep cultural knowledge as an Indian herself.

Her entrepreneurial spirit also shines through her recent venture, Nommaste; contemporary culinary products inspired by Indian flavours & heritage. For Madhavi, and for our team, the festival is where art, music, dance, food, design, and community collide in a harmonious way. Exactly where meaningful connections happen.

Today we celebrate Holy. A big celebration of colours. Holi is about:

Good over evil
Optimism over uncertainty
And: new beginnings - beginning of spring

If each one of us spreads positive energy, even if it is just a smile at 10 people everyday, it will have an impact.
HAPPY HOLI

PS see how we celebrated the Indian culture with a colorparty 'Holi Play' at LaLaLand Festival last year
