Ragas Live Festival
A 24-hour free music broadcast
November 21–22, 2020
7:00 PM–7:00 PM
Unity. Harmony. Community.
In its 9th year, Ragas Live Festival 2020 expands to an epic 24-hour free broadcast featuring legends of global music from 15 cities around the world.
Ragas are designed to be played at specific times of day: as the Earth rotates, the music harmonizes with changes in light and mood, potentially transforming the listener’s consciousness. At Ragas Live Festival, you’ll hear evening ragas as night falls and witness the sunrise to music that evokes the early morning.
The landmark event will be broadcast via video at the Pioneer Works Broadcast and by audio at WKCR FM-NY for 24 continuous hours starting November 21 at 7:00 PM EST. Featured artists include Zakir Hussain, Terry Riley, and Toumani Diabate.
