When asked about how Indian music will fare on the international stage going forward, Sam told IANS, “We are seeing a cross-cultural exchange like never before. Indian music is expanding beyond borders, and the collaboration in ‘London Dreams’ is a proof of that. The world is listening to India, and the future is incredibly exciting”.
