If you are looking to start the new year with a bang, Shakti’s 50th-anniversary world tour (India’s leg) is just perfect. Continuing the craze of music festivals and music tours this year, the iconic fusion band Shakti returns after three years to give yet another memorable tour. With original band members John McLaughlin and Zakir Hussain, the band now also has Shankar Mahadevan, Ganesh Rajagopalan and Selvaganesh Vinayakram, the son of T.H. “Vikku” Vinayakram joining the tour. The quintet will be performing across 4 Indian cities- Bangalore, Mumbai, Kolkata, and New Delhi. 

If you’re still not convinced, here are the top reasons why you should check this out:

1) Shakti was the pioneer of the ‘fusion music’ genre

Shakti, with original band members British guitarist John McLaughlin, violinist L Shankar, Ghatam Player T.H. Vinayakram, and Grammy-awarded tabla player Zakir Hussain shaped the genre of fusion music. Music fans back when the band was formed idolised Shakti for fusion music. It is a carefully curated unison of eastern and western music. This band that pioneered the world music genre, is coming to India!

2) Shakti was an inspiration to a whole ocean of musicians

As the band mixed the worlds of Carnatic/Hindustani music and Jazz, they opened the doorway for many more musicians. A whole number of musicians, artists and thinkers began to explore their own cross-cultural odysseys.
