6 Pack Band 2.0

This World Autism Awareness month, we are super proud to introduce Y-Films ka Brooke Bond Red Label 6 Pack Band 2.0 - a unique music collective of 6 differently abled teens with special needs and incredible musical skills, talent and passion.

2016 saw the rise of India's first transgender band, 6 Pack Band, that impacted millions across the globe. The goal of the project was to create greater awareness and empathy for the LGBTQ community and break social barriers, one song at a time.

In its 2nd edition, 6 Pack Band 2.0 focuses on the critical theme of "Mental Health and Disability" - a group that also faces similar social stigma driven mainly by the act of ignorance. And the 6 Pack Band 2.0 is here to show the world that no disability can hold you back when given the right kind of love & support.

The band comprises of 3 girls and 3 boys between the age of 13 and 18, all with varying challenges - from autism to learning difficulties. Their spirit, their infectious energy, their resolve and their life stories are extremely inspiring. They are the #Isspeshal6.

The band’s 1st single, ‘Jhakkad Pakkad Dance’ celebrates life. It showcases how we all need to shed our ignorance and our inhibitions, learn to accept everyone as they are and dance like no one’s watching, irrespective of any ability or disability.

This campaign hopes to create much more awareness, conversations and hopefully impact about this important theme over the 6 songs and 6 music videos that it will release over the next 6 months.
