In case you are a part of last-minute vacation wagon for Easter weekend, Kasauli rhythm and Blues Festival is just around the corner with its eighth edition on 19-20 April. In view of helping underprivileged kids suffering from congenital heart defects, KRBF has been organized by Genesis Foundation as a platform to bring together music fans to donate generously and fund this noble cause.
The two-day mega-musical opus will feature India's top musicians and solo artists. First day will feature a collage of three totally different music forms with Shubhangi Joshi Collective opening the festival with much justified vibe of Rhythm & Blues, Jazz and western classic music. This would be followed by India’s top classical and pop fusion couple- MaatiBani.
Headliner for Day 1 is ‘But It Rained' fame – Parikrama. The seven-eight-member rock band is touted to be the one of the main attractions of the event.
The second day is filled with four performances, Hari-Sukhmani will be bringing their eclectic sound, fusing traditional Punjabi folk music with electronic music, inspired by Sufi Poets.
The other duo will be Jazz and Indian classical based Bryden-Parth with Choral riff for the magical choir effect known for covering popular Bollywood numbers. The second day also features Thaikkudam Bridge, a rock-classical band and singer, Soundarya.
Second day’s headliner is Kerala-based Thaikkudam Bridge, a rock-classical band known for its exceptional folk and Bollywood covers.
Apart from a tempting musical line-up, the festival also has fun activities such as a dance workshop by Delhi-based ‘Happyfeet’ dance group and yoga class by Yogini Shivli. Yogini Shivli’s yoga sessions work on the concept of finding balance, the Shiva & Shakti, the Ying & Yang. Chakra Yoga & Qigong are her artistically curated series of classes that invite you to be in the moment, helping you let go and finding joy from within.
So pack your bags and get set for a memorable weekend.
