Hyderabad, Are You Ready For World Music Day? We Totally Are!

The World Music Day is celebrated on June 21 but Hyderabad is gearing up for its celebrations on June 24, and we’re psyched! Right from western classic to Carnatic to fusion music, there’s just so much for us to indulge in.

What began as Fête de la Musique in 1981 in Paris has become an annual celebration of music and is more commonly known as World Music Day. Founded by the then Parisian Director of Music and Dance, Maurice Fleuret at the request of Jack Lang, who was the Minister Of Culture — this worldwide phenomena of an event aims to promote music through free concerts and performances in public. Hyderabad has been celebrating World Music Day since a few years too, and this year the line-up consists of 200 artists performing at 20 venues all across the city.

 

Who Is It For?

It’s for everyone who loves music. And that means, it’s for everyone because we firmly believe that everyone likes music of some sort. Even raindrops make music! So go on, get your groove on. Be a part of this iconic movement and relish music of all kinds with different people at various places. This is sure to be an experience like no other, so don’t miss it!

 

Why Should I Go For It?

From popular cultural spaces like Lamakaan, Jxtapose, Phoenix Arena to fun places like Gallery Cafe, Chit Chat Chai, Our Sacred Space and more will be taken over by these musicians to bring you a music experience like no other. Hum along and dance to the tunes as the city is embraced in music that will follow you wherever you go, and make the most of this day to explore all genres of music, socialise with music aficionados as well as get access to some of the best music acts without any concert fee. Some of the local acts from Hyderabad feature bands like Turning Point, Pahiya, Prodigals, Raja Mallik Band, and Guitar symphony by Treble & Bass. They also have Carnatic music, Hindustani Classical, Sufiana Fusion series and more, so no matter what your taste in music is, celebrate it!
