According to the officials of the DD Kashir the live music festival has more to offer other than performances by around 100 artists of the state.

"The 5-day festival will highlight the rich forms of light, folk, sufiyana and diffusion music of the state. At the same time it will open and showcase the talent of our artists to the outside world and may provide a lifetime break to our singers and musicians as several corporate houses from Mumbai including SAREGAMA are also expected to participate in the festival," said Dr Masoodi.
