The festival brings to you a wonderful mix of Indian and Western Music - an indication of the beautiful way in which different genres of music co-exists and flourishes here.
Think 'Bandra' and images of Western Music flash in the mind. Bandra has always been associated with western music, but how many know that there is a committed audience here for Indian music too.
The Celebrate Bandra Festival sought to dispel this notion and has done so very successfully in the earlier three festivals. The very large artistic canvas provided by Indian music has reached out to audiences cutting across age groups. The magic is vastly 'different' and gets better with every festival.
The 2007 festival provided a lot and more. The 2009 festival promises more, more and more.
