The coming Saturday has an eclectic line-up. "There's Jerry Joseph, who travelled to Kabul in the Taliban era to teach music in an underground rock school. There's also Rewben Mashangva, a folk singer from Manipur; Priya Darshani, who's based out of the US; Deborah Mannas from Hong Kong; flautist Rajeev Raja from Mumbai; and blues and jazz artiste Rajni Shivram from Bengaluru, among several others," adds Fernandes.
