Culture combo, bridal binge

What: Confluence, a cultural night.

Where: Saturday Club.

When: Sunday evening.

Tune in: Fusion was the key word at the cultural mix on Sunday evening. The evening began with a khayal recital by musician Sounak Chatterjee. Upcoming musician Abhishek Basu, trained under percussionist Bickram Ghosh, then accompanied him.

Club members and their guests got a blend of different cultures as a few Tagore songs were rendered, first the traditional way and then with a Western classical touch, by the Vermeersch brothers — Stephan and Hans — from Belgium. The duo is part of Rajhans Orchestra, consisting of western classical artistes who promote Rabindrasangeet and Nazrulgeeti.

Dancers from Chhandam (a non-profit cultural group) — Koel Ghosh, Rinku Roy, Riya Dutt and Indrani Dutt — showcased dance styles like Kathak and Odissi.

The grand finale brought all artistes on stage for a combined performance.

Voiceover: “The concept is indicative of the breaking down of barriers by creating a confluence of different kinds of cultures,” said Rajen Sood, convener, entertainment committee, Saturday Club.
