MUMBAI: Renowned tabla wizard Zakir Hussain will perform at a two-day annual music fest �CITI–NCPA Aadi Anant', starting from 7 January in Mumbai.

Specially conceived by Hussain, the music festival is a blend of melodies from north and south India, as well as from the world of jazz. The music festival will showcase works that are deeply embedded in such traditions, and yet seek to reach out into the infinite realms of creativity, fostered by the contemporary socio–cultural milieu.

Louiz Banks (Keyboards), Ganesh Rajgopalan (Violin) and Rakesh Chaurasia (Bansuri), will also perform at the concert.

On the second day, outstanding vocalist Rashid Khan and eminent sitar player Shujaat Khan will begin with solo presentations followed by an encounter, wherein the voice and the instrument explore the common meeting points to strike a meaningful musical dialogue.
