When we met him for a chat, Mumbai guitarist Warren Mendonsa was reeling from an all-nighter to produce singer-songwriter Nikhil D’Souza’s much-awaited debut. “I’m not an afternoon person,” added the guitarist with a wobbly smile. Mendonsa travels all the way to Naukuchiatal this week to perform as Blackstratblues, his solo project now turned into a full band with Adi Mistry on bass and Jai Row Kavi on drums. In this video, Mendonsa tells us about the must-plays on his festival setlist and his ideal festival.
