Kailasa!
Yesterday myself and Pratibha had the good fortune of witnessing the Kailash Kher show, live. In fact this was the first live concert which we have seen, other than those in Marathi. We have seen a few Marathi concerts by distinguished classical singers like Rahul Deshpande and Anant Bhate, but for the first time we were attending a Hindi concert.
So here we were reaching the venue on time. The venue was the Raymond grounds and since the show was sponsored by Raymond, we were fortunate to get a 20% discount. we were, sitting@10 rows from the stage, waiting for the show to start. Since it was a mirchi top 20 show, it was hosted by the effervescent, Suren , of the "Meera and Suren show" on radio mirchi. In addition to being a good RJ, Suren proved himself to be a good compere, interacting very well with the audience. And finally the show started with the Raymond ramp walk, the male models strutting down the ramp walk showing off the varied fashion, exquisite finishing, and Made to Measure offerings, for which Raymond is famous for. And the moment came, all were waiting for... Entry of Kailash Kher!! For a moment he was not visible, due to his short height, since he came along with the models, but then he started singing, and the entire crowd erupted in applause. What ethereal singing... Such emotion in his singing, such pathos, and the strength in his voice... Easily touching the high notes effortlessly. And then the journey began... Belting out hits one after the other, "Teri Deewani,
Saiyyan,
Allah Ke Bande,
Tujhe Main Pyar Karu,
Ya Rabba,
Babam Bam,
Tauba Tauba,
Tu Jaane Na,
Piya Ghar Aavenge,
Bam Lahiri, and ending with chakh de chakh de, he was in his elements even between songs. What did he not do in those two hours... Doing the ramp walk, jumping on the stage and walking across the entire length of the stage , prancing about with child like energy. He was total paisa vasool. He did not spare the late comers , taunting them, "Indian culture is alive and kicking only because of these late comers". He certainly has a quick wit and the confidence which has been gained after conducting many concerts across many cities, in India and abroad.
And Kailasa...the band... Rarely do so many talents come together... Good supporting vocals by the Kamath brothers .Kurt, Gomes, Chiplunkar and Roy, on the various music instruments and the boy on the tabla was too good, unfortunately don't remember his name.
Thoroughly enjoyed the entire 2 hours at the venue.
