Seven musicians from across the world team up for a musical evening of a different kind at Seagram's 100 Pipers Melange. From India to America, England to Iran the list of musicians quite literally covers the globe.

With each of them bringing in their own flavour, tonight's concert promises to be worth the ticket price.u00a0

"The idea is to jump between styles and accompany each other in a different way.

We never play the same way at any concert. We prefer to improvise depending on a theme that we zero in on before every show," says Kale.

"We're all musicians from different walks of life and we are having a conversation with each other on stage.

In this group, we're all so high on the musical language, we have end up having an intense dialogue that leads to a new language altogether," he adds.
