La Fanfare Couche-Tard (Balkan Swing) - Saturday 30th @ 21.00



Eastern Europe music lovers, mixed with powerful nuclear energy and fine humour, the Fanfare Couche Tard  (understand ‘Night Owls Band’) is to music what an SUV is to travel. These 5 modern-day heroes will play in a bar, in the streets, under a circus tent, on a barge, in front of one hundred as well as two thousand people, in the morning, but especially in the evening. 
After nearly 7 years on the road and more than 250 show through several European countries, the Fanfare Couche Tard is not going to stop it there.
The next step of celebrity is surely going to happen during the upcoming India Tour 2016, during which the Fanfare Couche Tard will give everything…and maybe more! These five fellows come to India in an acoustic format to make us sweat at the crazy rhythm of their musical universe. Bring your best dance shoes and your best dance moves and be ready to....DANCE !!
The dream team is composed of Gregory on vocals and clarinet; Florian on saxophone and doudouk, Nathanael on the accordion, synth and vocals; Patrice on tuba and bass synth, and Robin on the drums.

Written by Hassan Abdulrazzak (Baghdad Wedding), Love, Bombs and Applesis the comic English play of three men, each from different parts of the globe, all experiencing a moment of revelation.

Satvaanii | Sacred Music - Sunday 17th @ 18.00

Satvaanii brings a unique perspective to mantra chanting, shlokas and bhajans. While remaining authentic, they bring a youthful joy allowing meditators, chanters, swayers, dancers, and children to enjoy sacred music together. Their melodies invite chanting of sacred lines to move towards a blissful union with the divine.

After a series of concerts in Delhi, Satvaanii comes to Bangalore with music arrangements that draw influences from Hindustani, blues, pop, reggae, and global beats. A young collaborative, Satvaanii is focused on giving the sanghat (people present) a rejuvenating spiritual experience.

Manoj Tamang (Lead guitars / Backing Vocals) - from Darjeeling ...
Karthik Mani (Percussion) - inherited a classical Carnatic and fusion backgroud and grew into a world-class percussionist comfortable with instruments from all over the world, Karthik brings and energy to the scene that has to be experienced to be believed.
