Holi over, it was time to celebrate with some music. And all roads led to a city entertainment park recently, where joining Shaan on stage were city musicians Purbayan Chatterjee and Raghab. The evening kicked off with a sitar recital by Purbayan. After the 20-minute long performance, which was well-received by the audience, Raghab took over. “The theme was Holi and Kolkata was still in a mood to celebrate.
I chose songs that had a youth connect,” said Raghab, who enthralled with his “Chaand keno” and “Tumi nei”, among many others.
The loudest cheers were reserved for his “De ghuma ke” — the theme song for ICC World Cup 2011. About Shaan, the singer said, “We are great friends and Shaan took time out before his gig to catch a part of my performance.”
Next, it was time for Shaan to wow all and sundry with his Bollywood smash hits and the singer gave a rocking performance, belting out the popular numbers one after another.
Quite an evening to remember!
