too good for the harmonica lovers and the best part is that year after
the year it has been celebrated in various cities across India like
Hyderabad,Kolkata, Bangalore, Pune, Burdwan etc.
Indian Harmonica Day day
or the IHD was initiated during the IMP Meet 2012, Kolkata (Indian
Mouthorgan Players’ Meet) organised in
association with Harmonica Lovers of
Hyderabad (HaLoH) and Kolkata Harmonica
Association (KHA) formerly called as Indian Harmonica Association (IHA) on
18th August, 2012
Harmonica Lovers from various cities feeling like a day
dedicated to the harmonica is the
perfect opportunity to organize harmonica concerts by roping in the great
harmonica players , also to encourage
new and emerging harmonica players- to build up a treasury of the old and new
in the world of harmonica. Music after all is the greatest unifier in humanity
and no event is better recognized or defined than by music which defines and
completes a perfect human social and aesthetic experience.
