In December 2018, the Berklee India Exchange team got an unusual request: to reimagine and interpret a Metallica classic of our choice. The Berklee Indian Ensemble (BIE) has always been known to experiment, but this one took us by surprise.
The brainchild of Mirek Vana, the Metallica Project @ Berklee is a Boston Conservatory at Berklee and Berklee College of Music collaboration featuring a contemporary dance reimagination of Metallica's songs arranged, recorded, and performed in four different styles - the fourth, being Indian music. Dance by renowned choreographer and director Otis Sallid.
Berklee and BIE alum, Yoel Genin from Israel, helped choose and arrange the piece. “For Whom The Bell Tolls” felt like a natural fit, and soon, a new version came to life.
