India, July 18 -- To celebrate the legacy of late music legend Mohammed Rafi in his centenary year, and pay tribute to late tabla legend Ustad Zakir Hussain and ghazal singer Pankaj Udhas, several musicians will take the stage in a two-day charity festival, the proceeds from which will go towards the treatment of cancer and thalassemia surviors. The 24th edition of Khazana - A Festival of Ghazals will see musicians Talat Aziz, Anup Jalota, Rekha Bhardwaj, Sudeep Banerji, Osman Mir, Aamir Mir, Pandit Ajay Pohankar, Abhijit Pohankar, Mahalakshmi Iyer, Rakesh Chaurasia and Pratibha Singh Baghel take the stage. Mahalakshmi, who performed in the virtual edition of the festival during the pandemic, says, "Ghazal is among my favourite genres, but I don't get to sing ghazals often. Hence, I am really looking forward to taking the stage. We would be paying a beautiful tribute to Mohammed Rafi sahab and I can't wait to sing Tere Mere Sapne (Guide; 1965)." Sudeep, who has composed new ghazals for the event, says, "I've also created a medley dedicated to Rafi sahab by choosing some of his best ghazals from films." Rekha, too, will be paying tribute to the late legends: "I will be singing Tum Jo Mil Gaye Ho (Hanste Zakhm; 1973) as a dedication to Rafi sahab and Deewaron Se Milkar Rona in the memory of Pankaj ji, besides my songs Ek Ghadi (D-Day; 2013), Teri Fariyad (Tum Bin 2; 2016) and Phir Le Aaya Dil (Barfi!; 2012)....
