Saarang is one campus culturals to look out for.
|
It's that time of the year again, a time for unlimited fun and entertainment and to head to Chennai, where Saarang, India's biggest college culturals at IIT is happening.
From the ubiquitous western musicto the soulful carnatic, from the d steamy salsa workshops to the classical Bharatanatyam contests, from the extremely artful dramatics to the impromptu street plays, from the engaging and insightful debates to the hilarious but equally captivating JAMs, Saarang packs a loaded punch. This year Saarang will have an eclectic array of performances with two international bands playing at the professional shows. The rock show is by a Californian tribute band playing a mix of vintage rock and blues, and evergreen Led Zeppelin classics. The other international artists are a French Jazz band, Duo Bertrand. They are a band of six musicians who have been wowing audiences the world over with their mix of traditional jazz and rock styles. This concert would be a finale to the semi-pro rock/metal competition, Decibels. The platform for Indian rock has had previous winners from here going on to have commercial releases. Bringing in the ethnic touch are Kumaresh and Ganesh, the violin maestros who have collaborated with such greats as A.R. Rahman, Zakir Hussain, Vikku Vinayakram, George Brooks and Sivamani, complete with the famed, feted trio of Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy.
