Bandra is all set to bring in a three-day carnival of music, food, shopping and much more over this weekend.

After the Andrean Fair held over ten years ago by St Andrews parish in Bandra, the same parish once again has a lot to be proud of in hosting on its grounds 'Rhythm n Roots', a festival which is an offshoot of the Bandra Zonals. The festival will be held from February 6 to February 8.

Day One features a showcase of past Zonal winners, followed by a music production 'Live that Dream' curated by Niloufer Rohira and Darren Das with a stellar lineup of vocalists. The vocalists include Darren Das himself, Dominique Cerejo, Kanchan Daniel, Keshia B, Rahul D'Mello, and Mumbai's very own Elvis - Siddharth Meghani.

Das is excited to be on stage. He had last performed almost 10 years ago with the band at the Andrean Fair. "There are a few zonals winners going to be performing before us in front of a huge audience". Niloufer and Darren have planned a mix of genres and styles of music keeping in mind the varied crowd that is expected, stating that there is something for everyone. "As for myself, I have chosen tracks that are well known and popular and will get the audience to participate vocally along with me. So we're looking at a fun set".
