5.0 Friday ft Tajdar Junaid

This Kolkata musician has been redefining the Indie music scene ever since the release of his debut album, What Colour Is Your Raindrop. His songs tend to transport you to misty mornings, lush meadows and an onslaught of melancholy. You can almost always see Junaid with his Charango, a small ten-stringed lute that makes his music one of a kind in the Indian music circuit. And this Friday, he's holding a show at the Electric Room, and believe me when I say, you shouldn't miss it.

When: 9pm to 5am, June 16th, Friday

Where: The Electric Room, Lodhi Road
