Bengaluru Habba 2008

IS CANCELED DUE TO SECURITY REASONS

Habba literally denotes festival in Kannada – the local State language of Karnataka. The Bengaluru Habba aims to provide valuable and aesthetic entertainment at no cost for the audiences. We hope to expose youth to the joy of live traditional performing and visual arts and crafts and to make Bengaluru a culturally vibrant place. Classical dance performances, Carnatic & Hindustani music recitals, Folk dances, English & Regional theatre productions, Craft melas and Sports competitions add to the grandeur of the festival at multiple venues in the city. Internationally, nationally and locally acclaimed artists grace the Habba’s stage.

Ronu Majumdar & Kadri Gopalnath, Pandit Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Rahul Sharma, Lillette Dubey, Kala Madhyam artisans, EVAM productions, Galeej Gurus, and Aditi Mangaldas, Shaan, Sukhwinder Singh, Pandit Birju Maharaj, Pandits Ranjan & Sajan Mishra, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma, Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasiya, Shree L. Subramanyam, Shivamani and Taufiq Quereshi have all performed at previous Bengaluru Habbas.
To mark the 6th year celebration, the Government of Karnataka has graciously agreed to adopt the Bengaluru Habba as one of the flagship festivals of the state, in partnership with the private sector. This endeavour is the first of its kind in the country where the public, private and the industrial sector have come together to present the artistic palette of India which has enthralled millions around the world.

It indeed gives us great pleasure to invite you once again to another year of festivities at the 6th Bengaluru Habba from December 4th to December 21st, 2008.

All events are free and open to the public.

Satyricon is a Norwegian black metal band, formerly known as Eczema. The band credits their First album, Dark Medieval Times, with starting a black metal subgenre that they dubbed “medieval metal”. The album showed off the fascination Satyricon had with the Middle Ages, along with raw black metal blast beats produced by Frost, mixed with acoustic guitar and flute. On the next album, The Shadowthrone, this medieval spirit was continued.
Regarding one of their latest albums, Volcano, frontman Satyr stated in a press release / biography on their homepage that “the music is rock based but more extreme; it is black metal pushing the boundaries that began with bands like Venom and Bathory, reinventing ourselves based on a foundation of rock oriented black metal is our philosophy.” It resulted in a total of 4 Awards for Volcano being, the Norwegian Grammy for “Best Metal Album”, an Alarm award for “Fuel For Hatred” in the category for “Song of the Year”, as well as The Alarm Award for “Metal Album of the Year” and The Oslo awards for “Best Overall Album”.
In March 2008, the band headlined the Inferno Metal Festival in Oslo for the first time.

Biography
Sahg is a four-piece Norwegian metal band formed in 2004. After years of involvement on different ends of the Norwegian rock and metal scene, four hard rock devotees teamed up under the name Sahg. The band consists of King on bass, Olav on lead vocals and guitar, Thomas on guitar and Tor on drums. In mid-April 2006, the band’s debut album ‘Sahg 1′ was released across Europe, with numerous positive reviews on the album. ‘Sahg 1′ entered the Norwegian charts at no. 31, and the record sales continued to be much better than anticipated. The album’s positive reception resulted in Sahg shifting their focus into live performances. The band did some live appearances in Scandinavia throughout the summer, such as the Hole in the Sky Festival in Bergen, Norway.
Sahg was part of the Wacken Open Air festival in the north of Germany in 2007 and is expected to play at the 2008 edition of the Metal Camp fest.
With appearances at Bylarm (national Norwegian showcase festival and international music business get-together) and Inferno Festival, along with bands like Emperor, Cathedral and Witchcraft, a bigger audience had started opening their eyes to Sahg. The media attention was increasing rapidly, in Norwegian as well as international press, and the band received some astonishing concert reviews.
In September 2006, Sahg headed out on a three weeks tour of USA and Canada, supporting Swiss metal legends Celtic Frost.
