Its Season 3 now! We are so glad to be back after the summer months, doing what we like most - bringing to you our favorite musical talents. During our summer hiatus, in a unique webcast, KavitaChibber.com celebrated Sonu Niigaam's birthday. Singers from around the world sang their favorite Sonu Niigaam songs along with a wonderful accompanying article by Kavita Chhibber. We are proud to have her as a special guest in one of our earlier podcasts. In the birthday webcast, some of our popular Awaaz Anjane stars (Akshay, Azam, Deblina, Des, Elmar, Santosh, Soumitra and Vidyu) took part and received comments from the icon singer himself! In this season-opener episode, we share with you highlights of their songs and read out Sonu Niigaam's responses. Enjoy this episode. And if you are around the Columbus, Ohio area, do visit us at the India Festival this Saturday, Sep 20, 2008. Happy Listening!

Musical fundraisers are a perfect treat for concert lovers. You have a good time listening to the soul-stirring strains while experiencing the joy of giving. Such opportunity now comes in the form of Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation's series of fundraising concerts. Beginning in Cleveland on May 30, the concert then moves across the nation. Sreedhar Nair of Ekal's Cleveland chapter explains the concept behind Ekal and how a dollar-a-day brings functional literacy to tribal areas in India. Music for the fundraisers is provided by the Pandya family of Lexington, Kentucky. Raj Pandya of this gifted family, comprising of wife Smruthi, son Amit and daughter Eshna tells us about the family's association with Ekal and talks about their music. Happy Listening!

Awaaz Anjane wishes all moms around the world a very happy Mothers' day. While commerce associates gifts, brunches, and dinners as the only worthwhile form of commemoration, it is our children themselves who make up those Mothers' moments. This episode celebrates the joy that parenthood brings through the performances of two talented youngsters, brought up in USA and ardent lovers of Hindi Music. Lack of understanding of Hindi does not prevent Akshay Hari of Pittsburgh from shining in Jab Se Tere Naina and Bol Na Halke Halke. His favorite stars are Sonu Niigam and Himesh Reshammiya. Smita Ravichandran of New York uses her training in Western and Hindustani classical to sing with aplomb Babuji Dheere Chalna and O Meri Sona. In the next episode we will cover the musical extravaganza being organized by the Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation. Happy Listening!
