The Guitar Waali Baithak (by Aniket Gundewar): An intimate performance of Indian Classical Music on the Electric Guitar and Tabla
Guitar Waali Baithak is a captivating concept that combines Indian Classical Music with the electric guitar in an intimate setting. Unlike more formal concerts held for large audiences, a baithak brings together artists and listeners in relatively close quarters. This allows for direct interaction between the artist and the audience, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the art form. Baithaks are vital in preserving the essence of Indian classical music, and this modern take infuses it with the vibrant sounds of the electric guitar, revitalizing the age - old tradition with contemporary flair.
It is being hosted in Cooke Town, known for its serene and grounded nature on 2nd June, Sunday, 6 pm to 7.30 pm
