The overcast skies and the pitter patter of the rain evoke several emotions. Perhaps that’s why ragas like Malhar, Sufi songs, and even devotional compositions have waxed eloquent about this time of the year. To celebrate the many emotions stirred up by the monsoon, Pancham Nishad Creatives will host the fourth edition of Rain Raga, a two-hour event featuring nearly nine compositions across genres that celebrates the magic of the rains.
The line-up includes percussionist Taufiq Qureshi, sitar player Purbayan Chatterjee, Sufi singer Indira Naik, vocalist Jayateerth Mevundi, tabla player Satyajeet Talwalkar, pianist Vishal Dhumal, South Indian percussionist Giridhar Udupa and flautists Akash. The event is a two-hour-long, non-stop performance.
