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.
