BANGALORE: Bollywood movies are usually known for their spice, twists and of course music. When it comes to music, it has definitely grown with time. From lyrics such as Koi Mujhe Junglee Kahe and Samne Wali Khidki Mein to our latest pop Hindi numbers such as Chamak Chalo and Bhaag Bhaag DK Bose, it is safe to say that, we are now entering a new age with respect to Hindi music.Celebrating the good old days of Hindi music from early 1950’s, Maan Entertianment presented Golden Grand Bollywood Jazz and Brass concert at Chowdaiah Memorial Hall recently. This was one of a kind evening, where classical Hindi numbers were performed with influences of jazz and blues scales with a touch of rock and roll. The concert was performed by 12 musicians who were guided by music director Kishore Sodha. Apart from mind blowing musicians, the songs were sung by the city’s most gifted vocalists such as Babloo Mukherjee, Biju Nair, Raja, Sinchan Dixit, Raja and Rithisha, who transported the gathering to a world of melody through Hindi music. The concert witnessed over 25 Hindi numbers ranging from movies from the 1950’s to 2010. The evening did have the popular numbers such as Aa Dekha Zara, Shola Jo Badke, Dil Pe Mere and few from the later movies such as Zoobie Doobie and so on.The variety in songs and the well balanced playlist kept the crowd entertained. From love songs to happy songs the band hit the right nerve throughout the night. The evening was nothing less than any a heavy metal concert because of the energy showed by the band. Every instrument was in sync and on dot when it came to delivery. If that wasn’t enough, the concert was hosted by Bangalore’s Sunshine Girl Vasanthi Hariprakash, who kept the crowd on their toes.The event went on for over two hours, many couldn’t resist but to dance or sing along with the band. The concert made everyone think how blues and jazz form the main rhythm for most of our favourite Hindi numbers over the years. It is often believed that Hindi music is a genre of its own. But after the concert it is no doubt that it is indeed a sub genre of blues.
