Guest Artist for Baisakhi 2011 by Pujari Atlanta

On the eve of Baisakhi on April 16, 2011, we have a special guest artist who has performed live in the past with leading Kolkata bands like “Chandrabindoo” & “Aabbulish”. His name is Arindam Mukherjee. He will be accompanied by another local artist, Jeff, (also from Mississippi) for his first ever performance in the Atlanta area.

This event (as advertised) is FREE of cost for all attendees and is being planned to start around 8.30 pm after dinner. So we encourage all Bengali Atlantans to come and enjoy this scintillating two-man band performance with us.
