A fabulous fusion music session by the group 'World Music Center' topped off a colourful, vibrant evening rich with international compositions. The music flowing out of the musicians' artistry blended the very best of the east and west into a confluence of mesmerizing beats. The longing of the audience for more could not be met due to constraint of time
