Southern California born multi-instrumentalist Anthony Cammarota brought toge­t­her contemporary jazz ensemble AC4 five years ago. Its Indian avatar was born a year and a half ago — with Snarky Puppy and Robert Glasper vi­b­es, but edgier — after Cammarota moved to Mumb­ai to teach music two years ago. Joining them on stage th­is Saturday is 22-year-old In­dian classical mu­s­ician An­andi Bhattacharya, who last performed he­re with her father, re­nowned slide gu­i­tarist Pandit Debashish Bhattacharya.

For Bhattacharya, choosing music as a career option happened naturally and "involuntarily", says the Kolkata resident, who grew up listening to songs by Allauddin Khan, belonging to the Maihar gharana. "I wasn't allowed to listen to much else. I first heard Christina Aguilera after I finished class 10. Before that, I was living under a rock when it came to global music," says Bhattacharya.
