Sonu Nigam to render over 50 songs as tribute to Mohd.Rafi on his 100 birth anniversary
As a heartfelt tribute to the singing legend Mohd.Rafi on his 100th birth anniversary on 24 December, renowned singer-musician will render over 50 songs in just 3 hours. The event titled “Sau Saal Pehle” is organised by NR Talent and Event Management.
It’s a matter of immense interest that the concert marks Sonu’s first Mohammed Rafi show in India.
Sonu Nigam;
Speaking to the media amidst the rehearsal, Sonu, who would be performing with an entourage of close to 50 live instrumentalists at Mumbai’s NMACC Grand Theatre, voiced it’s no mean feat. He had a really tough time while charting out the final list of songs for the show, as you don’t know which track to omit when it comes to Rafi sahab. He really hopes God and Rafi sahab bless him with the strength to do justice to this endeavour.
Notably, Sonu’s father
Veteran singer Agam Kumar Nigam, would also perform at the show. Adding his father had introduced him to Rafi sahab’s music. As a kid, he had performed with dad at many shows, singing Rafi sahab’s classics. So, it feels surreal that we would both take the stage for such a sacred occasion.
The event organisers call this concert “a dream endeavour” and can’t wait for the day.
According to Singer Rabbani Mustafa Khan, Organiser, Sau Saal Pehle, says, ever since this show got finalised, they have been working on this dream concert, day in and day out, because they realise how momentous an event and responsibility this is. As they inch closer, he really prays that they manage to pull it off with utmost justice.
Namrata Gupta Khan, Organiser, Sau Saal Pehle, adds, she believes the show would be any Rafi sahab fan’s dream, as there’s no one out there who could do justice to the legend’s music as Sonu l. He is grateful to Sonu ji for believing in them and he is for 100% sure that the three hours would be nothing short of magical.
The late legend’s family, including son Shahid Rafi and daughter-in-law Firdaus Rafi, have also been closely associated with putting the event together and would be in attendance at the show, among many other celebs.
