“Music
washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life” - Berthold Auerbach
The 7th edition of The Great Indian
October Fest created hype even before it started. It was majorly because of its
Band line ups, the Beer, and the venue. Hosted at KTPO, in an open air field,
away from the hustle of the city, the place looked like a village’s colorful
carnival with its flea market, exotic cuisines at the food court, various
games, and party items like funky hats, wigs & headdress, attractive
souvenirs.
The first day opened with live performances by
Hiphop & Reggae Band – Bombay Bassment, Rock by Bicycle Days, amazing
Indo-Jazz by Amit Heri, classic Carnatic Rock by Motherjane, House by Ash Roy
& Ashvin from Jalebee Cartel, and Bollywood/House by Ram Sampath & DJSuketu.
After a great start, the crowd went crazy soaring
to the tracks from Delly Belly performed live by its composer & singer Ram
Sampath. The music and the energy combined with intoxicating Beer were infectious.
There wasn’t a single soul who wasn’t dancing or laughing, in short the fun was
in the air! DJ Suketu took it up a notch with his eternal Bollywood & House
remixes, bringing the crowd to frenzy that was insatiable and enthralling.
With the shouts of ‘once more’, the day ended with
a promise of much better tomorrow, just a night away.
