Karsh Kale performs
Karsh Kale created a global fusion music set, featuring Max ZT, Jonita Gandhi, Dale Harrison
and Bageshree Vaze on stage. Karsh says, "Having many outlets for my sound has opened up
the possibilities of what that sound can actually be for me. I often find myself moving quickly
between a live set with my band to composing strings for a film to DJing a dirty dance set to
writing an acoustic song within a short period of time. My sound comes from finding
inspiration from those moments in-between all of that madness."
Saturday's events started with grand displays of South Asian foods and Bollywood music and
fashion.
