Rock music lovers will get a chance to meet one of India's most popular rock band this Sunday.

Based in Auroville, Pondicherry, Emergence line up includes Krishna McKenzie (Guitarist/Vocalist), Karthick Iyer (Violin/Vocalist), Mishko M'Ba (Bassist) and Suresh Bascara (drum).

The band has just returned from a tour of the US where they performed at the John F Kennedy Centre for Performing Arts in Washington DC. Music lovers will get to hear Indian acoustic pop numbers with a mixture of British and Indian classical music. The music will range from Rock, Jazz to Funk. Their last album Closer to God, was based on themes like self sustainability and organic farming.

Renowned Kathak dancer Asawaree Patankar and founder of Udgaar, will pay tribute to her Guru kathak exponent Rohini Bhate through a musical presentation. For the past three years, Patankar has every year organised such an event to pay tribute to her guru. "This concert will be a blend of dance, song and instrumental. I will follow the Rohini Gharana. My guru had her own dance style which we students consider as a separate Gharana," says Patankar. There will also be a solo tabla performance by Hetal Mehta and a demonstration of Shivavandana by Patankar, written by kathak doyen, Maharaj Bindadin, and choreographed by Bhate. The dance performance will be followed by a Jhaptaal performance, demonstrating the technical aspects of kathak and a Prahlad Katha piece, in which Patankar will depict the story of Bhakt Prahlad through dance and Abhinaya. Leading vocalist Padmatai Talwalkar from the Jaipur and Gwalior Gharana, will also be performing at the event.
