A special cultural event ‘Strings of Peace’ featuring legendary Sarod maestro Ustad Amjad Ali Khan along with sons Aman Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash is being organised by High Commission of India, Colombo on the eve of 70th Republic Day of India. It is their first ever performance in Sri Lanka. The trio will be accompanied by eminent percussionists Satyajit Talwalkar and Shubh Maharaj.
