Malhar & The Sea: An immersive experience that left everyone feeling enamoured
Goa, 3rd September 2024: In an era dominated by Western music, Malhar & The Sea is a celebration of India’s rich musical heritage, promising to transport you to a world of immersive musical experiences. Imagine a weekend of intimate settings, world-class performances of soulful solos and scintillating duets, and unforgettable moments that will leave you spellbound.
Organized by Showhouse, Malhar & The Sea presented by DBS was a unique festival featuring a star-studded lineup of artists such as Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Kaushiki Chakraborty, Shujaat Husain Khan, Rakesh Chaurasia, Shivam Bhardwaj and many more…
Taking place at the luxurious ITC Grand Goa Resort and Spa on August 30th and 31st, this exclusive residential concert was an opportunity to experience the best of Indian music like never before. The festival featured a carefully curated lineup of icons of Indian music, including Padma Vibhushan Ustad Amjad Ali Khan’s music flowing into the brushes of the world- renowned artist Paresh Maity to paint a large canvas. Kaushiki Chakraborty – a renowned Indian classical vocalist of the Patiala gharana in a duet with Purbayan Chatterjee on sitar. Amaan and Ayaan Ali Bangash performing the Songs of the River… their rendition of Indian folk music from the Himalayas to the seas. Sufi Qawwal Shivam Bhardwaj, Gary Lawyer, Kaiya Maxfield and Fado singer Nadia Rebelo added a whole new perspective to the festival.
It was truly a heartwarming experience as the Paresh Maity’s painting was auctioned and the proceeds were donated to National Association for the Blind, Goa. Ira Dubey beautifully hosted the two-day event, infusing it with elegance and charm that made the experience truly memorable.
Malhar & The Sea was more than just a concert – it was an immersive experience that left the guests feeling enamoured, rejuvenated and inspired. The guests enjoyed world-class hospitality and cuisine and indulged in celebrity mixologist Beckaly Franks’ expertly crafted cocktails. The event offered an intimate setting and a warm atmosphere to network for just 400 opinion leaders who were treated to a weekend of unparalleled entertainment, luxury and exclusivity.
Each performance was elevated by the support of esteemed partners, with DBS as the Title Sponsor, alongside Divitas Capital, Air India, Volvo, The Glenlivet and Longitude 77 from Pernod Ricard India and Faber Castell, who added prestige to the event.
