This three-day festival is rooted in Bengaluru’s unique identity as a cultural crucible—a meeting point where traditional Indian music and international influences have collided and coexisted for decades.\nThrough a curated blend of multilingual performances, music appreciation sessions, vinyl-based experiences, and intimate in-gallery engagements, we gather artists and music selectors working across classical, folk, jazz, and pop to examine how musical traditions are inherited, transformed, and reimagined for a globalised world.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”
