With a passion for creating diverse electronic music TaTvA K, with Atharv on vocals and Veshesh on Percussions, began the evening with some Sufi numbers set to throbbing beats and then set the evening on fire with commercial music that created a hot-to-trot tempo for the listeners in club ShowShaa. Percussionist Veshesh, with his uncanny ability to transform the ordinary into extraordinary wove a rich tapestry of synthesizer, drums, deep bass and an electronic flourish to Sufi and rendered an unforgettable evening for the audience that screamed encore!

~
Artists, Gurdeep Mehndi, Kutle Khan, Dhruv Sufi and Ashish Chauhan rendered a memorable

evening~

Mellifluous music, silken notes….the King of romantic ballads Lucky Ali rocked Kingdom of Dreams in the Direct Dil Se musical fest last evening. The balmy evening commenced with Ashish Chauhan and Gurdeep Mehndi performing to infectious beats. Their Sufiana kalaam and Sufi numbers set the tone for a musical evening that became progressively delightful!

Gurdeep Mehndi and Ashish Chauhan’s recital was followed by the eclectic music of Coke Studio celebrated artist Kutle Khan and Dhruv Sufi who brought alive the romance of the desert in the heart of Gurgaon at Kingdom of Dreams. The plaintive songs and hypnotic beats of Kutle Khan’s music captured the audience. He rendered the evening with fervour and love for his special brand of music while the gypsy dancer swirling to his beats brought alive the magic of the tribal form.

The piece-de-resistance of the evening was music maestro Lucky Ali who captured romance, pathos and the joy of living in his songs and stunned the audience with his velvety voice. The enraptured listeners swayed and sang along with him calling repeatedly for an encore! Lucky Ali unplugged with O Sanam drove the audience into a frenzy with young and old alike hanging on to his every word and every note and matching him for note to a note!  With each of his memorable songs Lucky Ali wove a silken web of magic which the audience was only too glad to be ensnared in. The memorable September evening drew to a close with the rapt audience bidding adieu to their beloved artist with great reluctance, but not before Lucky Ali drove home the message of the importance of a healthy heart. The Direct Dil Se Concert is the second edition in the series hosted on the occasion of the World Heart Day to raise awareness of healthy practices for a healthy heart.
