Mumbai: Ghazal maestro
Jagjit Singh who has come up with a new concept of "ghazal
symphony" has said this would attract the younger generation to
the genre of ghazals.
"This entire thing was created to do something new and to change
the format of ghazals. It was done so that the genre appeals to
the younger generation as well," Singh told reporters here Tuesday
night.
Organised by the Odyssey Corporation Ltd, the ghazal night saw
many celebrities from the music industry including Gulzar, Suresh
Wadekar, Vishal Bhardwaj and wife Rekha Bhardwaj and Ismail Darbar
among others.
Singh, who performed live with 30 musicians, belted out his hit
numbers like "Tum itna jo muskura rahe ho", "Hoshwalon ko khabar
kya" and "Sarakti jaaye hai".
The concert would be held in a series with the next one in
Ahmedabad Dec 17.
"Singing ghazals with so many musicians is a very different thing
altogether. You need a certain kind of discipline for this. You
can't anything extra, everything is fixed," he said.
The 30 musicians kept the orchestration strong at the event with
flutes, violins, guitars and other instruments.
