About the Project

Bee Ekke Bee is a conversation—three songs, three stories, where the fields speak, and the city listens (or doesn’t). Written and composed by Aabha, these songs unfold like dialogues between rural and urban voices, tracing the quiet struggles of seed conservation. But this isn't a plea. It isn’t a lament. It’s a reminder, a playful nudge—you’re the one missing out. Rooted in native and tribal knowledge, the melodies weave past and present, carrying the wisdom of the land to ears that have forgotten how to hear.
