'Rotary International's CD release of Kaisi Madhur Shyaam'

In a very unique initiative Rotary Bangalore Lakeside and I are working together for the End-Polio campaign '$200 million Challenge to Rotary by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation'.

'Kaisi Madhur Shyaam' - Rustic Hues, a CD of Kajri, Holi, Bhajan on the theme of Krishna, sung by me was released in Sanchalana 2010, a Rotary event. Proceeds from the sale of this CD will go towards End-Polio.

Rustic Hues: Kaisi Madhur Shyaam - presents an  eclectic collection of folk songs that have been incorporated into semi-classical Hindustani music like Kajri – rain songs, Holi – songs sung during the festival of colours and Chaiti – sung in the ‘Chaitra’ month. In addition, there are bhajans written by mystic saint-poets like Meera, Bramhanand and Surdas on the theme of Lord Krishna.
