Talvin Singh, Karsh Kale, and Nitin Sawhney to Perform at India AIDS benefit in LA

Reuters reports that Talvin Singh, Nitin Sawhney and Karsh Kale will be performing at a June 8 charity concert in Los Angeles to raise money for HIV/AIDS causes in India. The lineup also includes Perry Farrell, Michelle Branch and Macy Gray.

"One Night in India" will take place at Pauley Pavilion on the UCLA campus. Proceeds will benefit the Global Fund, a Geneva-based foundation that aims to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. An earlier press release said the concert would also benefit the American India Foundation, which aims to accelerate social and economic change in India, but that organization is no longer involved, an event official said.

Tickets range from $25 to $500 VIP packages and are on sale via Ticketmaster and the event's Web site

If you are in LA, I highly recommend going to see this show. It is not often that one gets to see Talvin and Nitin Sawhney perform, especially in the U.S. If all three, Karsh, Talvin and Nitin perform together, the experience would be priceless.
