From the Festival Organisers Festival Director Shen Flindell (EthnoSuperLounge) The oral tradition of Indian classical music (guru-shishya parampara) connects us directly back through the ages to the timeless wisdom of the Vedas, which tell us that music is the most direct path to “God”. I really believe that no matter what your religion nor which part of India or the world you come from, Indian classical music is something we can all be really proud of.
