"It's going to be two evenings with a touch never seen before in Mumbai," promises Mahesh Babu, director, Banyan Tree Events, as he tells us what to expect from Kala Viraasat. The cultural festival will showcase some of the finest acts in Indian music and dance. Names like Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia, Louis Banks, the Nizami Brothers, Guru Singhajeet Singh, Charu Sija Mathur, Guru Jaya Rama Rao and Vanashree Rao hold celebrity status already, but it's the fusion they will create on stage that is the USP of this event.
