Raja Hasan is miles ahead than many others, when it comes to winning hearts.
After listening to his humble and genuine voice, not only we fans but the Maestro himself seems got very much impressed with Raja Hasan that he preferred to give a special treatment in the Jai Ho, Pune concert. Raja Hasan was only one amongst all the singers who got his name flashed on the screens while performing. Way to go Raja……
This is how one of the die hard fans of Maestro Rahman, who was at the show describes the whole event.
As expected, there was huge young crowd and all Pune roads seemed like flowing towards the Balewadi stadium. But there were aunties and oldies too and even families attending with 2 year olds. Hats off to Pune’s music lovers… they attend Sawai Gandharv and Rehman with equal enthusiasm !
He started with “Jage hai der tak” followed by a Tamil song. I thought ab toh gaya… people will boo him for playing Tamil song. They just waited patiently for next one to come. The patience was paid off very well when he started “Jiya se jiya”. That song has enchanting beats which make it more enjoyable live.
Jaage hai der tak
There was Hariharan singing “Roja janeman”, Rashid Ali singing “Kabhi kabhi aditi”, Sadhana Sargam singing “Chupake Se”… all the Delhi6 songs were sung and so were “Kaise muze tum mil gayee” and “Maiyya Maiyya”. No singers were introduced apart from Raja Hasan whose name flashed across the backstage.
The man himself performed “Dilse”, “Rehna tu” and “Aarziyan”
Aarziyan
My verdict……..Awsome show!!! still have hangover of it. Afterall you dont get to listen Rahman playing piano live with Hariharan singing “Thu hi re”, Roop kumar rathod singing “Roshan sama”"Bhini bhini” everyday.
