I n – S y n c h(The world music)

About the EventThe 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.
