The international band Naguale has chosen Karnataka to provide the backdrop for its music video. The band from Romania has zeroed in on Coorg and Mangalore to shoot its brand new video, which is a collaboration with Punjabi rap artiste Sukhbir.

“India and its colourful culture is hot on the international circuit right now. Since the song also features Sukhbir, they wanted an Indian touch to the video. I suggested that they come and shoot in Karnataka since such a varied choice of locations are available here,” says Akshat Mudbidri, who’s managing the band’s India operations.

Naguale will begin shooting in Coorg shortly, with the coffee plantations and Coorg culture receiving prominence. “We will then proceed to Mangalore and capture its scenic beaches. Local art forms like Yakshagana and tiger dance will also feature on the video,” explains Akshat.

Ovidiu Baciu, one of the members of the band, confirms that they have been getting glowing reviews about Karnataka and were looking to shoot amid nature and lots of culture, “So we’re here,” he says. The three member band will also have Bangalorean models grooving in the background to the song that’s titled Killa.
