Malabar is the northern Kerala land of Southern India. We live to love the Feasts (All kinds of Foods & Beverages) and Fests (Cultural, Art, Film & Music Festivals). Our hospitality towards guests and expertise in hosting the festivals are very well known.

Indian history says that Malabar and each South Indian states & Union territories (Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Lakshadweep, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu & Telangana) have a very Inseparable relationship. So this time Malabar Festivals Team directing an exclusive Music Festival only for South Indian languages (Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, Konkani, & Tulu. Also for commonly used Urdu, French & English languages)

South Indian Music Awards (SIMA Fest) is a Music Festival that presents the best music videos of various genres from India’s southern states, in the most beautiful province in South India with a high interest in tourism and culture, Malabar. We focus on innovative approaches to creating music videos.
The moment the atmospheric and sensual music and the visual side are collective with the use of film elements, an artistically valuable music video can be created. Our goal is to create a place where the South Indian culture will connect with the music industry.
Spike Jonze, Gore Verbinski, and many other incredible directors even got their start in music videos. We want to find the succeeding great creator, the next great musician, and the next great music video.
