World Music Festival, hosted by RJ Meera and RJ Suren, hit the air waves on 18th June on Sunset Samosa and exhibited the profound influence international music has on Bollywood songs.

Commenting on this unique initiative, RJ Suren said, “It is astounding how our Bollywood songs sway towards international genres and we hardly notice the roots. And it is not only the songs of today, but also some of the evergreen songs of our industry. World Music Festival's primary aim was to educate and outline the connection and celebrate the beautiful art, Music!”

Agreeing with RJ Suren, RJ Meera quips, “It was like every day treat for our listeners and fans! They tuned in to our show Sunset Samosa, and got to listen to Bollywood songs of one particular international genre. And if that wasn't enough, we had talented and versatile musicians from each genus, talking about and playing songs. I am sure our listeners enjoyed two weeks of musical extravaganza as was a pleasure for us to host Festival.”
