A musical night to remember

K M Siddique

Mattanchery and

Bismilla Abu

, both in their eighties, are familiar to old-timers of Kochi since they used to perform with legendary Malayalam playback singer Mahboob during the sixties and seventies. The duo continued their stage shows in Fort Kochi, Mattancherry and different parts of Kerala, along with radio programmes on Akashvani, well into the eighties.

Recently,

David Hall

in Fort Kochi honoured the stars of yesteryears at a ceremony which took everyone on a trip down memory lane. Many popular songs of the previous era were performed at the show, leaving the audience spellbound.

MLA

K J Maxi

inaugurated the function.
