Jodhpur RIFF 2026. Venue: Salim Kot. Entry: Full Festival pass/ Day Pass. Jodhpur RIFF has always honored music that is inseparable from the communities that made it; music that carries the weight of history, land and remembering. DOBBY, the ARIA Award winning Filipino-Murrawari musician, drummer, rapper and composer from Australia is a torchbearer of that very tradition. A fierce advocate of truth and justice, DOBBY's music is an act of preserving cultural memory as much as it is performance. Rooted in storytelling, he fuses hard-hitting beats, live instrumentation, and urgent lyricism to deliver performances that are both electrifying and deeply moving. This is DOBBY's premiere appearance in India. Killabeatmaker Hilder Brando Osorno, popularly known as Killabeatmaker, is a Colombian DJ, singer and songwriter from Medellin, and one of the most compelling Colombian voices in contemporary music. Jodhpur RIFF audiences will remember him from his Indian premiere at last year's festival. This year, he returns with his explosive DJ set, accompanied by Guadalupe Giraldo (tambora, gaita, vocals) and Yulian Perc (alegre, congas, vocals). Together, they bring a raw, high-energy experience where ancient sounds and modern electronics collide, moving effortlessly between freestyle, percussion, and soaring vocals. Building on the collaboration that began at the festival last year, he will once again join forces with the celebrated Rajasthani dhol drummers Chanan Khan, Pyaru Khan, Sawroop Khan and Sattar Khan, Dine Khan on morchang and khartal, and Zakir Khan Manganiyar on the khartal. What began last year as an instinctive, electric collision between Afro-Colombian indigenous beats and the folk traditions of the Thar returns this year with a stronger conversation between two traditions that have discovered a common musical language. Killabeatmaker's collaboration is a Jodhpur RIFF commission 25th OCTOBER
