· Indo-German Urban Mela in Delhi

| Asad Khan and the band, "Fusion Messengers" |
If Sunday was a crowd puller for guitar
legend Carlos Santana’s concert at the Greater Noida’s Galotias University,
Delhi’s Indraprastha ‘Millennium’ Park was not left behind as sitar maestro
Asad Khan and the band, “Fusion Messengers” mesmerised a huge audience.
The group took on audiences with
the most unusual mix, crossing classical Indian genres with jazz, flamenco,
electronic and folk music. The crowd was left with raptures as unique
renditions of the Indian and German national anthems were also performed.

“Fusion Messengers” who regularly
play for A. R. Rahman during his world tours apart from many other jazz and
world music festivals across the globe, gave Dellites a perfect Sunday evening
with a captivating blend of music.
Asad Khan has earlier performed
at the Classic Incantations tour with the German Film Orchestra – Babelsberg held
in India and Germany.
“It is a matter of extreme pleasure
for us to contribute to this huge project that will further strengthen the
music and cultural ties between the two nations. I have been involved with the
year of Germany in India since the Classic Incantations tour and it feels great
to associate with the project again for a live audience at such a spectacular
venue”, Khan observed.
The programme was held on the
occasion of the ongoing nine-day event titled – “Germany-India 2011 – 2012:
Infinite Opportunities” which is a special initiative to mark and celebrate 60
years of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
