Thrill in the rhythm at Mahindra Percussion Festival 2025
The HinduAn air of reverence greeted anyone who walked into the Prestige Srihari Khoday Centre for Performing Arts auditorium in Konanakunte on March 1 and 2. The third edition of Mahindra Percussion Festival in association with The Hindu was dedicated to the music and life of Ustad Zakir Hussain, who passed away in December 2024. Performing off his 2012 album Crossing, Chary, like Sairam, was more than happy to let his fellow instrumentalists take the spotlight, from Gino Banks’ charged-up drumming to Sheldon D’Silva making his bass guitar sing. Their performance at Mahindra Percussion Festival came just as they are set to go on a Europe tour, taking this electronica-heavy blend of South Indian rhythms, rock and metal to new levels. Feeling good was certainly the prevalent atmosphere among the thousand-odd attendees who had attended Mahindra Percussion Festival – now a well-oiled machine in its third edition.
