Six months after massive floods drowned Kerala, OOrali Martin and his music band, Oorali toured some of the places worst affected by the calamity — to pay homage to the fisherfolk who had plunged into rescue operations.The ‘Oorali Flood Express’ is one of the first travelling artist projects of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale. On Oorali Express, their modified bus complete with a stage for performance, they travelled across 10 coastlines in six districts -- Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Alapuzha, Ernakulam, Thrissur and Malappuram, visiting fishermen's villages. Singing for them, staying with their families for two days and soaking in the colours of their lives, the musicians spent three insightful months. A few days ago, Oorali was back where it began for a final performance, with two fishermen from each of the shores they had been to, joining them on stage.
