We are ROL-Rhapsody Out Loud and we are a band of musicians from a small town of Mangalore, based in Mumbai. Where we come from, although Kannada is the state language, Tulu is the local language that is loved and spoken by all! Mangaloreans settled all over the world still speak this language and believe it is their identity. We as musicians want to use our music to bring this small beautiful language back to life by sharing it with the whole world through a song. And we need your help.

The fundraiser is for the production of a Tulu song that includes the most nostalgic memories and qualities of Mangalore and Tulu as a language.

When do we need these funds?
We need the funds by the 15th of APRIL as we want to release the FIRST EVER TULU MUSIC SINGLE in April.

How do we plan on using it?
This song is more than just entertainment, it is an emotion. We have recorded the audio. Having invested a lot of our personal income in the making, we realized this iconic video will not see the light of day because we don’t have enough money to complete it.

We as a band have a huge following on social media for the work that we have done and hence, if and when we get the necessary funds, we will use it to complete the song, share it on all platforms and encourage people to continue speaking the Tulu language so that our future generations speak the language too.
Another purpose for these funds is to aid language organizations in Mangalore to help conduct activities to help people keep the language from going into archives.
