MTV India Music Summit 2018: Shujaat Khan, Usha Uthup among artists to perform on Day One

The second edition of the MTV India Music Summit – Many Musical Journeys. Ahead of her performance, the artist said of the event, “The idea of the India Music Summit is really brilliant, to meet up with different artists and musicians has been a really fantastic feeling for me and I think it should matter for every artist … there is nothing as beautiful as meeting a fellow musician or singer because you can exchange ideas and there’s so much to learn.” Day 1 of the summit will also feature a performance by Darbari Kathak artist Manjari Chaturvedi followed by a conversation between the founder president of the Sufi Kathak Foundation and the Urdu poetry and literary expert, critic and advocate Saif Mahmood. Chaturvedi’s initiative, The Courtesan Project is an attempt to combine two extremes: traditional Darbari Kathak and modern technology to create awareness amongst the youth about this ‘dying art form and develop ways to preserve it.’ This discussion with the Darbari Kathak artist in keeping with the summit’s aim to explore ways to preserve fading genres is a must attend for all classical enthusiasts. The Summit Concert to be performed by L Subramaniam will also take place on the first day of the India Music Summit. Raymond presents MTV India Music Summit 2018 will be held at The Fairmont in Jaipur from 12 October to 14 October.
