Kala--> Black
Add an 'a'
Kalaa-->Art
Yeah,and thats what it is basically.."The Kala Ghoda Art Festival"
This has been a common ground to all artists-be it music,theatre,art,photography,food,fashion,architecture and so on and so forth...Its rather a cultivation land where the artisians get their reap annually...
I have been attending this festivity for the past 3 years consecutively and every year,it has been a new learning and a new experience.Its really nice to see all different art forms and their creators at 1 single junction..
History goes that there was a Kala Ghoda Statue with King Edward VII,the then Prince of Wales at this location which was later moved to a diferent place.
This year too saw huge crowds pouring in and I happened to be here with 4 friends of mine, Vikram, Prasanna whom you know now and another 2 new intro's to this blog, SriKumar (a german consulting buffy) and Raghu(a guy with lot of Raghas in his green coloured iPod)..We attended 2 concerts of the music fest at the Amphitheatre,a US based band "Hurricane Bell" and "Dharohar",a Rajasthani folk group with British Beat Boxing..
Some songs of "Hurricane Bell" were too emotional and romantic which made me spellbound and the Beat boxer from "Dharohar" made some excllnt beats to which the crowd went cheering...
Also,saw many of the Art works,Photographs,Installations,NGO's and the hand made products stalls from different parts of India.

So,if ur a Kalaakar(Artist),don't miss to take a ride on this Kala Ghoda or the Black Horse...
