Hyderabad-based collective Chowraasta fuse Telugu folk with rock, reggae, and contemporary sounds to create music that is both rooted and revolutionary. Since their breakout viral hit Maya (37M+ YouTube views), the band has become one of South India’s most recognized independent acts, with a loyal following across India and the global Telugu diaspora. Known for bold lyricism and infectious grooves, their catalogue includes cult favorites like Oorellipotha Mama, Pisinari, and Kanche Leni Desam. Beyond the charts, Chowraasta are celebrated for their grassroots initiatives like the Chowraasta Busking Project, which brought live music to over 15 remote villages in Telangana, blending cultural revival with community connection. With a powerful stage presence and a track record of high-energy tours—including a 12-city USA tour (2024) and shows in Australia—Chowraasta continue to redefine independent Telugu music on both regional and global stages.
