Yes, we\u2019re talking about the Kasauli Rhythm & Blues Festival (KRBF)<\/strong>, the annual music festival that was conceived by Genesis Foundation in 2012<\/a>.

How the Kasauli Rhythm and Blues Festival 2026 Is Helping Save Little Hearts?<\/strong><\/p>\n

More than 200,000 children are diagnosed with\u00a0Congenital Heart Disease<\/a>\u00a0(CHD) in India, every year. This is considering a birth prevalence of 9\/1000 and about one-fifth of them will need early intervention in their first year. While many of these conditions are treatable, access to timely and affordable cardiac care remains out of reach for countless families.<\/p>\n

This is where the Kasauli Rhythm & Blues Festival<\/strong> comes into action. More than a music festival, it is a lifeline for children who otherwise would have missed a fighting chance at life. A chance to live happily and healthily and dream bigger.<\/p>\n

Believing strongly that music is a positive and participatory force in the creation of change, the foundation invites established and upcoming artistes from India\u2019s diverse pool of musical talent to perform here. They perform for the foundation\u2019s cause- to support critically ill, and under-privileged children suffering from congenital heart defects (CHD)<\/a>. Music aficionados can contribute to the cause by simply doing what they love, that is listening and grooving to the beats of music. 100% of funds raised from individual donors are dedicated towards treatment of critically ill children as all overhead costs are borne by the trustees.<\/p>\n

Last year, through our Kasauli music festival<\/strong> 2025, we were able to support 11 children, who got critical heart treatment and a fighting chance at life.<\/p>\n
