Live review: a rain-soaked night with the Raag Collective

Four thousand fans stayed through a downpour at the open-air show.

The set began with a drizzle and ended in a storm. Nobody left.

By the fourth song the rain had turned the field into mud, and the crowd had turned the mud into a dance floor. The nine-piece band, with tabla, sarod and brass, never slowed down.

The encore, an unplugged "Baarish Wali Raat" with the audience holding up phone lights under umbrellas, was the best moment of the night. Rating: 4 out of 5.

This is a demo story: every name, place, organisation and figure in it is fictional.
