admin — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 05:21:03 +0000

Flautist Ravichandra Kulur has come a long way from his hometown in Udupi, about an hour’s drive north of Mangalore. Brought up in a family of musicians, Ravi learned quickly that music can unite people irrespective of culture or nationality.

Ravi’s flute has taken him around the world — New York’s Carnegie Hall, London’s Royal Festival Hall, the Passionskirche in Berlin, Mumbai’s NCPA Auditorium, etc. He has shared the stage with Dr M. Balamuralikrishna, Pandit Ravi Shankar, Anoushka Shankar, Steve Smith and Vital Information, Charlie Mariano, Hariharan, S P Balasubramaniam, Kumaresh and Ganesh, Tarun Bhattacharya, Hans Hartmann, Karsh Kale, Amit Heri and Tanmoy Bose.

Join Ravi as he performs with Thermal And A Quarter and other musicians at ‘One Small Love – Bangalore for Mangalore’, a convention of peace-loving citizens, at Opus in the Creek in Bangalore on February 14. Entry is free.

Draw the line. Spread the love.

It’s easy to say cheese, but what does it take to get people to smile at each other?

“People smile for the camera, but I wish they would just smile otherwise,” says Zubair, a Bangalore-based photographer.

Join him and other concerned Bangaloreans at ‘One Small Love – Bangalore for Mangalore’, a celebration of diversity and freedom with performances by Thermal And A Quarter, Swarathma, Gerard Machado, Konarak Reddy, Alwyn Fernandes, Karan Joseph, Ravi Kulur and other artists and opinion leaders on February 14 at Opus in the Creek, Whitefield Road, Bangalore.

Draw the line. Spread the love.

One Small Love – Vasu Dixit and Varun Murali draw the line

Swarathma, Indias hottest new band (they swept the JD Rock Awards), is also a multicultural ensemble with members who hail from across the country.

Vasu Dixit and Varun Murali invoke Sant Kabir in one of their songs to explain that nothing has changed in the last five hundred years when it comes to womens empowerment. On the one hand we tout the power of freedom and yet, on the other, the same people misuse freedom for their own interests.

Join them and other artists, musicians and concerned citizens at ‘One Small Love – Bangalore for Mangalore’ on Feb 14 in Bangalore to celebrate the spirit of freedom. If you are not in Bangalore, join us on Facebook.

Draw the line. Spread the love.
