In the lead up to World Music Day on 21^st June, a brand-new initiative titled Buskr Chowk that celebrates and supports the spirit of street performances, is set to launch with shows across Delhi, Gurgaon and Noida between 20^th, 21^st and 22^nd June, respectively.

World Music Day celebrates free expression, grassroots artistry, and music in public spaces - values that lie at the very heart of busking. Buskr, a first-of-its-kind initiative, based on the same premise is reimagining the future of street performances with powerful live busking pop-up spaces, specially curated with a mix of emerging as well as renowned artists such as Ankur Tewari (composer, producer, singer), Akhil Sachdeva (singer) and Kutle Khan (urban folk artist) among others.

The talented buskers will perform along the booth, showcasing Buskr’s potential as a vibrant, accessible stage for artists across the board and a platform that helps amplify the voices of artists including musicians, poets, dancers, and storytellers, and connect them with a wider audience.

The brainchild of veteran music and sound professional Manu Saksena (Founder and Creator), Buskr’s patented Buskr Booth offers a semi-professional stage setup, sound support, and digital tools that empower artists to perform, promote, and connect with new audiences. It’s remotely operable, scalable, and features dual screens that also provide a creative platform for brand engagement/advertising.

“Buskr is a vision close to my heart and is inspired by the magic of street performances and the power of community listening. Through my travels and work with artists across the spectrum, I’ve seen how busking can democratise the arts and bring culture into the public spaces & urban corners in an impactful way. The Buskr Booth was created to facilitate that vision,” says Manu Saksena, who is well-known and respected for his work with music festivals, venues and artists across the music industry, in multiple roles since 2004.
