A tribute to the incomparable legacy of the singer behind 100's of Bollywood Blockbusters: Asha Bhosle.

Letters to Asha Tai is a deeply personal musical tribute dedicated to the incomparable legacy of the legendary playback singer, Asha Bhosle.

This event unfolds as a series of intimate musical “letters” - each song a personal expression of admiration, gratitude, and affection for an artist whose voice has been a constant companion through countless lives.
