India, Feb. 3 -- Shemekia Copeland's music is powerful and ferocious and her songs have dealt with issues like gun violence. Three of her albums have been nominated for the Grammys. Copeland earlier performed at the festival in 2011 and 2017.

You have performed at the festival before. What was that like for you?

Extraordinary! The vibe is like no place in the world. The fest itself is killer. They always book other great acts who I get to hang with and then we all jam together. It's awesome. Be sure to let everyone know that I have a deep love for India and her fans. The Mahindra Fest is like no other in the world. And I'm looking forward to really rocking it.

What can audiences look forward to in terms of your performance or set this ...
