The world music concert

In–Synch
(The world music)

2. About the Event
The attempt to relate the likings of the next generation with this new
perspective in mind, we brought about the initiative of extending the
boundaries of this music.
Fusion music (World Music) does not follow any guidelines, therefore it gives
the artiste great liberty to experiment especially when performing with other
talented musicians. Yet, a fusion concert is only truly able to transcend to an
all band to complement each other and we have been lucky to experience
this magic.
We believe, “Music is meant to touch the soul of the listener and the driving
force is to aspire and maintain a fine harmony between tradition and
modernity that is in sync with the sensibilities of a global
audience.
Combination of understanding of diverse Indian musical gharana styles with
world music styles.
