MUMBAI: Celebrating soulful melodies in ‘Khazana a festival of Ghazals’, renowned ghazal singers will once again share stage to raise funds for cancer aid and thalassemia awareness campaign on 27-28 July at Hotel Oberoi in Mumbai.
The fest in its 11th year will feature acclaimed talents like Pankaj Udhas, Bhupinder and Mitali Singh, Anup Jatola, Talat Aziz, Hariharan, Ahmed and Mohd Hussain alongwith upcoming artistes like Chandreya Bhattacharya and Suchismita Das.
Speaking about the concert with Radioandmusic.com Talat Aziz said, “Khazana is an annual event which we host for Thalassemic patients and their parents. Our intention is to introduce the future of Ghazals to the audience and this unique concept seemed to fit in perfectly among the efforts of The hotel ‘Oberoi’ to raise funds with a little help from the artistic community in the city of Mumbai. I and my other friends from the music fraternity perform every year for this noble cause. “
