About the Festival
The Kasauli Rhythm & Blues Festival (KRBF) is Genesis Foundation’s flagship annual music festival, set against the stunning mountain backdrop of Kasauli, Himachal Pradesh, and hosted at the picturesque Baikunth Resort. Over the years, KRBF has grown into a much-anticipated cultural gathering, celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere, exceptional performances, and meaningful impact.
A true haven for music lovers, KRBF showcases a thoughtfully curated mix of established and emerging talent across Indian Pop, Rock, Jazz, and Bollywood music. Rooted in the belief that music is a powerful, positive, and participatory force for change, the festival brings together melody and purpose on one compelling platform—uniting artists, audiences, and advocates alike.
Founded in 2012, KRBF was created to grow Genesis Foundation’s community of donors and well-wishers while spreading the joy of music. All funds raised through the festival go directly towards life-saving treatment for critically ill, underprivileged children suffering from Congenital Heart Defects (CHD). Artists who perform stand alongside us in our pledge to Save Little Hearts, bringing together music lovers from all walks of life to celebrate generosity and the transformative power of music.
testimonials
This is my first time here, and it’s been a special experience. Everyone was enjoying the music. However, what people were really enjoying was each other’s company, the sense of camaraderie. And I think that came together because of the cause for which the whole festival is being organized. That was the binding force, the glue that brought the entire audience together.
- Dr. R Krishna Kumar, Head & Clinical Professor, AIMS Kochi
The fact that something can survive for 10 years requires a loud applause. The fact that KRBF and Genesis Foundation, especially with the support, the mechanism, and the system that they have worked on, bringing all the nice things together for a great cause, is one of the nicest things I have personally experienced in my myopic life.
- Shrey Tandan
I think the cause is wonderful. Saving children who can’t save themselves, whose parents can’t help them, going into villages and smaller areas and choosing people who can’t afford treatment. I think Genesis Foundation is doing a wonderful job, and everybody should support this cause. We are privileged to be a part of this cause.
- Sameer Mutreja, Founder Promoter, Scapes Hospitality
So, we’ve been associated with Genesis Foundation and the Rhythm and Blues Festival since its inception. For us, it’s about connecting with people, the cause, and the vibe of the mountains, the scenery and the kind of clientele the festival attracts. The best part is being associated with an organization that brings meaningful work at the ground level year after year.
- Nishant Singh, Marketing Manager, Pernod Ricard India
Kasauli Rhythm and Blues Festival has everything: the mountains, great musicians and artists, and a beautiful cause. In fact, 25 years of saving little hearts is not easy. Many people give up in 5 or 7 years, but they have been consistent, and looking at them, I don’t think they want to stop for the next 25 years.
