An evening to remember at the Jamgarh Music Festival

It was a one-of-a-kind musical night for Delhiites when as many as 20 Indian and International artists performed at Siri Fort Auditorium – all in one night and in a span of three hours. The participants of the Jamgharh Music Festival & Concert Tour by The Terra Rosa Gypsies, an independent Sufi and Rock music band, included Bernie Marsden (English Rock and Blues Artist), Las Tablas from Madrid, Gyan Singh (Tabla player and percussionist from India and founding member of Parikrama), Shellee (Poet and lyricist), Guna Shekhar (Keys and Veena player), Jivana Nataly (danseuse from Columbia), among others.From Indie beats to Flamenco and from tabla rhythms to hardcore metal, it was a dream amalgamation for the music lovers. “We have curated this whole set to bring together the beauty of different styles of music. Our aim is to create a show that offers something for everyone in the audience,” said Vineet Sharma, curator, Jamgharh Music Festival & Concert Tour. “I am a big fan of Blues music. In India, we get to see this genre playing live very rarely. I am glad I decided to come here and I enjoyed every bit of it,” said Shivam Gupta, an audience member. Upasana Arora, another member from the audience adds, “It was surreal. I especially loved the flamenco dance. It was the first time that I was seeing something like this in a live show. It was a great experience.”
