It was World Music Day and Bangalore city celebrated it in style. The Handshake Concert, brought musicians from across the country together in our city, for one long evening of music that spanned many genres.

The evening began with K Sathyanarayana, the talented young pianist who left his audience spellbound as he played beautiful ragas on his keyboard. Anuradha Pal, the percussionist, was a roaring success as she sent her audience into euphoria with her intricate rhythms that took every music lover straight to nirvana and back.

Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt’s performance was fabulous as expected; the icing on the cake being his jugalbandi with the pianist.

The mellow mood faded as the evening progressed, when Swarathma and Soulmate took the stage, driving the audience wild as they jammed together.

Even the most ardent music lover went home satisfied.
