our collective story
the story of the Tamil American diaspora
/…
As Tamil Americans, we’re constantly balancing duality—between societal norms and personal freedom, language and identity, tradition and innovation.
In the midst of it all, we’re finding our voice.
ar•ram•bam records is a home for that voice.
A community-led label creating music with purpose and intention — rooted in who we are and where we come from. We’re crafting an artistic composition that sonically captures the complex stages of self-discovery as Tamil Americans.
This is music for the in-between: for those who live in translation, in diaspora, in multiple worlds at once.

Finding yourself takes time.
Art takes time.
This is our collective story.
for our ar•ram•bam tape volume 1
We brought together 16 Tamil American artists across the country.
What started with a 48-hour hackathon in the studio turned into something much more: an original project blending Tamil and Western influences to tell our story through sound.
We’re forging a modern third space for the Tamil diaspora.
One where we can flourish, experiment, and celebrate each other.
