Two bands, two solos

Au00a0week-long festival of music at a supper restaurant brings you jazz and bollywood numbers

Kyra, the performing arts restaurant has in store a weeklong musical extravaganza of rock, jazz, Bollywood and more

"Our objective is to provide music of all genres to a cross section. We ensure we give audience a taste of all kinds of music," says Deepali Sikand, Chairperson of Kyra Theatre.

This theatre restaurant, which has always mixed art with fun comprising unique performances, wanted to break the notion attached to the particular genus of music played in restaurants, this time around. And to top it all, just walk down one floor below and you get unlimited food and booze.

"In Bangalore you don't get to hear different kinds of music in restaurants. It is either the DJ music or rock. We ensured that Bangalore gets to hear different music," says Deepali.

While Eth, a Swiss jazz orchestra will bring a flavour of the west; Biju Nair will take you down the memory lane with Shammi Kapoor hits.
