Over 30 artistes from India and the world will come together to celebrate the fourth edition of 'Echoes of Earth' that claims to be one of its kind eco-conscious music festivals.
The two-day festival to be held in Bangalore, this year is themed "The Sanctuary", and will pay tribute to the endangered species in India and the world.
In addition to presenting a stellar line-up with sounds of electronic music, world fusion, underground techno, house, Indian folk, the festival will also create awareness about the importance of preserving and protecting these species through music performances, workshops, panel discussions, film screenings and much more.
"In the last few years, India has seen quite a few noteworthy festivals promoting music, art, films, and literature. However, people have ignored the impact these festivals have on the environment.
"'Echoes of Earth' will showcase an alternate way of designing and managing festivals. For instance, we work with the waste management company Hasaru Dala to ensure responsible segregation of waste," organisers said.
