more-inLending an ear to the needs of autistic children and their longing for social acceptance, six celebrated music bands from south India led by newly formed Reggae Mars will perform in the city on April 28. When these leading bands come together and musically urge the community to shake hands with such children, it will definitely usher in a positive spirit, he adds. The well-known bands invited to the special concert along with Reggae Mars include Aviyal, Chaos, Jhanu, Eettillam, and Collective Conscious. The theme song “The autistic have hopes and dreams...” will be played live at all venues to convey the message. On April 2, 2019, the participating bands will come together in Kozhikode again for the grand culmination of the event, which will also mobilise a special fund for socially and academically backward autistic children.
