Mumbai, Feb 16 (NITN): People from Mumbai and its suburbs, especially Bengalis, got a feel of the musical heritage of Bengal and Bengalis, from classical to folk, at the recently held Lal Mati Utsav (Red Earth Festival), organised at the Urban Haat, CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai.

The two-day music carnival was organised by Ranjit Jharna Kansai Eco Foundation, in Association with Tara TV .

His solo performance and his unique percussion and strings fusion concept band-  Rhythm Express, mesmerised the audience. His skills in rhythmic expression through Tabla surprised the audience as he played sound effects that resembled two trains travelling side by side.
