Rock & Romance…. very upbeat, ethnically modern

Shammi Kapoor's “YAHOO” heralded the new beginnings of stylized music that liberated lyrics from the domain of literature and created melody of a different kind.

Romance through music, has co existed in our films at two levels, the soft waltz like moody melodies, and the rocking heartbeats of the up coming generation, a liberation that brought about a sea change in our Hindi film music.

The Concept

This show will highlight the wonderful contribution of music directors, who have adapted the western beat, retaining the Indian soul, in our contemporary film songs.

Drums, cymbals and the electric guitar dance in rhythm to the sentiment that promotes both eternal love and eternal conflict, once restricted to the domains of semi classical tunes… these instruments have gradually moved into the realms of foot tapping rhythms, demonstrating the  outstanding artistic capabilities of our highly talented music composers like A.R. Rehman, Shankar-Ehsan-Loy, Vishal-Shekhar, Pritam, Jatin-Lalit and those who belonged to the golden era of our music.

The Concert

Gaurav Bangia renders a thoughtful collection of the numbers that are the harbingers of Rock & Romance… in a variety of moods and signature styles of well known music composers.

So be it a KHUDA JAANE and HUM TUM on one side and SAJNA JI VARI VARI and MAUJHA HI MAUJHA on the other,a universal thread binds the essence of Rock & Romance music, a marvelous blend of the West and the East.

Every number has its unique touch and feel… every composer brings in freshness to the outlook of blooming romance… the heartbeat of contemporary India.

ROCK & ROMANCE… defines the paradigm shift in Hindi film music, very upbeat, ethnically modern, an experience of another kind.
