11th March, 2016Genesis Foundation is back with the 5th edition of its annual fund-raiser—Kasauli Rhythm & Blues Festival, to be held over the Easter weekend, March 25-27, 2016. It promises to be a perfect weekend, with live performances by 8 of India’s most popular bands and artists in the magical hills of Himachal. The proceeds of the Festival will be used to support the treatment of children suffering from critical illnesses in the areas of cancer, cardiac disorder and thalassemia.
#KasualiRnB is a highly awaited music festival and fund-raiser by Genesis Foundation. The three-day excitement-packed weekender will showcase top musical talents from a very impressive line-up of eight (8) well-known bands and musicians. The hill town of Kasauli will be home to an audience who will be traveling from various cities across the country just to attend the Festival in aid of critically ill children. There are more than 150 children that the Foundation is in touch with, who are awaiting immediate medical intervention. Many of these children will be supported by the funds raised from this Festival.
Prema Sagar, Founding Trustee of Genesis Foundation said, “The extensive support from our supporters, bands and patrons has made this annual music festival rank among the top such festivals in the country. The power of this support doesn’t just end with the immediate funds raised, it helps us grow our network of friends, raise more awareness around the cause, and connects us with more volunteers and philanthropists. It is because of this that we have been able to support more than 850 children on our journey and hope to support event more.”
The Kasauli Rhythm & Blues Festival is a flagship event by Genesis Foundation and its cult status has inspired the Foundation to take the format to Goa and host the first Goa Rhythm & Blues Festival last year. Believing strongly that music is a positive and participatory force in the creation of change, the Foundation invites established and upcoming artistes from India’s diverse pool of musical talent to perform in support of the critically ill under-privileged children under its care.
In order to raise awareness and resources to facilitate medical assistance to GF Kids, Genesis Foundation has created unusual and unique participative fundraising events involving music, art and food. Some of these events are Goa Rhythm & Blues Festival, CEOs Cook for GF Kids and Music for Life events, among many others. GF is also the beneficiary of CEO’s Got Talent, produced by FremantleMedia.
The lineup inlcudes Tabla Maestro & Sultan Of Strings (feat.Ustaad Fazal Qureshi & Ravi Iyer), Mihir Joshi Band, Shilpa Rao, After Party with SUN-(DJ), Kanchan Daniel & The Beards, The Local Train, Massive Vibe, Lesle Lewis, After Party with SUN-(DJ) and Army Pipers and Army Jazz band.
