In Delhi, the monsoon is soon to arrive with three assets: romance, nippy breezes, and now, the return of a signature music experience. Conceptualised and produced by Excurators, Baarish: Season 2, Chapter 1 is making a comeback to the capital on June 21, thanks to the warm reception of the debut last year.
Expect seasonal (heh) storytelling and music. The festivities begin in the evening, hopefully with the perfect kind of light drizzle. Tickets (including early bird passes) are already up for grabs on Skillbox.
The line-up
Stacked. Headlining the evening is electronic music duo MIDIval Punditz, the Delhi-based brainchild of Gaurav Raina and Tapan Raj. For over two decades, they've been seamlessly blending Indian folk traditions with contemporary electronic beats. Joining them on stage are Padma Shri awardee and folk singer Malini Awasthi, Manganiyar musician Kutle Khan, and vocalist Pavithra Chari.
That’s Awadhi, Bhojpuri, Hindustani, Sufi, and many other different musical traditions put together, you see.
Beyond the music, the evening duly dives deeper into culture with curated conversations and an immersive sensory installation that lets you discover fragrances inspired by the essence of the Indian monsoon.
The backdrop promises to not disappoint either. The gorgeous Zorba HSE Hall by Tivoli, with their curated mixology showcase and soul-satisfying food and drink, ensures you're well taken care of between performances.
