Is the sound of blues fading at the Mahindra Festival?
As always, as part of convention behind the annual Mahindra Blues Festival, the pride of position of the opening act – on 8th February, 2025 at Mumbai’s Mehboob Studios – went to city-based Kanchan Daniel. While singing pop and rock, especially retro, appears more her forte due to her deservedly earned reputation for strong vocals, Kanchan’s effort of singing the blues appeared contrived as if being compelled to place more effort than required due to the imposition of the prestigious platform provided to her.
