Global world of Performing Arts

Recently two interesting visitors, both from USA, came to my site. First is Mr. Bradley Litwin, a 1920s-1930s American Blues and Ragtime music artiste. Mr. Bradley would like to perform in India if there's an interest in this genre of music.

The second visitor is Ms Bobbie Goodrich. An artiste working on indigenious dances from various countries, Ms Goodrich would like to attend the Vasantahabba festival.

About Mr Bradley's query, based on my knowledge though, I would hazard a guess that yes, there is an interest in 20s-30s Ragtime Blues in India but it would be limited to the hi-end settings/environments such as 5-star hotels clients and such. What I mean is that, to the best of my knowledge, there are not really any regular general public performances for that genre of music. Performances for such music are probably organized for niche, up-market audiences. Lemme know if someone knows it any different.
