A musical series of young talent marks the fifth anniversary celebration of Tabula Rasa
Tabula Ras has always been known for organizing concerts. As part of its ongoing fifth anniversary celebrations, the open air bar hosts a week-long music festival that culminates on August 28 with performances from indie artists. There is a listening party in the afternoon followed by Akhlad Ahmed and the Iberian Museum in the evening.
Raunak Wazir, founder of MUSIFIX India and a music curator, is bringing together performances by various independent artists for the anniversary celebrations. The listening contingent will include several independent local artists such as EL Taxidi, Aikyam, Aarohi, Niraval, Varnam and The Deccan Project. Shravan Juvwadi, Founder, Tabula Ras says, “When we started Tabula Ras five years ago, the indie music scene in Hyderabad was still nascent. We felt the need to provide a platform for budding bands and artists. For example, the Telugu music festival Rasa which we staged a few years back paved the way for some of the most talented individuals who are now in most prominent Telugu bands like Niraval, Elysium, etc. ,

Shravan says that it is the sound quality, state-of-the-art infrastructure and best-in-class audio-visual experience that make his music festival a much-awaited event. “We are proud to open our doors to local talent and this makes us a people’s favourite. How will they get a chance to showcase their craft if local talent is not supported?”
On Akhlad, Ahmed Shravan says, “Akhlad is a young artist from Pune. He is an out-of-the-box talent who has trained in Indian classical music and is a flute player and keyboardist. Akhlad combines Indian classical vocal and instrumental elements into melodious/progressive sounds. He is a versatile musician, producer, composer and DJ.”
Another musician who will be presenting some great tracks with music lovers is Mikhail Voronezh aka Iberian Muse. “He is an international artist who started work in 2018. With his talent, musical education and perfect perception of music, he immediately started conquering the electronic scene.”
