The pandemic has consumed our lives in such an all-encompassing manner that other diseases — however critical they might be — seem to have been relegated to the background. How many people noticed, for instance, that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month? Well, the folks at equal-rights organisation Girl Up Naaz and ticketing platform SkillBox did, which is why they decided to host a concert this weekend, the proceeds from which will be donated to the breast cancer clinic at AIIMS in Delhi to help the underprivileged women admitted there.

Aptly named Rhythm to Recovery, the two-day gig will feature eight indie musicians in total. The first evening will have Sanjeeta Bhattacharya opening the proceedings, followed by Saksham Aggarwal, Shanay Shah and Kamakshi Khanna. Then, on Sunday, Natasha Sehgal will pick up the mantle from where Khanna left it, with Abhilasha Sinha, Dhruv Visvanath and Aishwarya Suresh following suit. Each of them will play a 20-minute set. SkillBox founder Anmol Kukreja tells us that some of these artistes have been associated with other causes before, adding, "Also, if you notice, most of the performers are women. The idea was to include a lot of female performers since it's an event meant for breast cancer patients."
