From the streets of Maharashtra to the valleys of Kashmir.
From ballads in regional dialects to rebellion in hip-hop beats.
From soul-stirring poetry to reimagined cinematic soundscapes.
Curated by renowned Carnatic vocalist, author and activist, T. M. Krishna, ‘Voices of Diversity’ brings together artists from across India in a festival that echoes KNMA’s vision of making art inclusive, accessible, and reflective of lived realities.
In Krishna’s words: “The KNMA Music Festival will feature brilliant and sensitive artists who have taken their art beyond traditional boundaries by thinking seriously about music, its purpose, and creating a new musical language. These artists dismantle silos and blur hierarchies, placing the heard and unheard on equal footing.”
The festival experience extends beyond the stage. Architect-sculptor Ankon Mitra and his studio Hexagramm bring their signature “Oritecture” (Origami + Architecture) to the venue. Their installation, Music in the Weaving: Indigenous Crafts Meet the Folds, transforms the space into a living tapestry – folds and weaves rising like music itself, evoking harmony, rhythm, and cosmic order.
Come, experience a first-of-its-kind celebration of India’s boundless musical diversity – 10 artists, 4 days, 1 stage – where music becomes memory, dialogue, and freedom.
