The world that we live in is buzzing with myriad traditions and musical forms across various indigenous cultures. Music from around the world exerts wide cross-cultural influence as styles influence one another.

This event showcasing varied musical forms reaffirms the peaceful co-existence of cultural and artistic plurality in the world. With this event we celebrate the power of music as the healing force that promotes cross-cultural understanding and remind people of all cultures and religions that we share a common humanity. 

Koshish, the band led by the well-known vocalist, ShubhaMudgal includes SudhirNayak (harmonium), Murad Ali (sarangi), BenoniSoans (drums), AneeshPradhan (tabla), Tony Dias (keyboards), BertieD’silva (bass) and PratapRath (percussion).

The repertoire of the band includes especially composed pieces, which borrow from diverse forms of music. Some rely heavily on Hindustani classical forms; others show a marked influence of jazz and blues, while a few borrow from genres like qawwali. These pieces will be interspersed with some of the well-known Indi-pop repertoire that ShubhaMudgal has recorded.

In terms of the literary content, the songs have verses by celebrated poets like Gulzarsahab, Faizsahab, SahirLudhianvi and others.
