ASAD KHAN – FUSION MESSENGERS CONCERT

·       Indo-German Urban Mela in Delhi


Asad Khan and the band, "Fusion Messengers"
If Sunday was a crowd puller for guitar legend Carlos Santana’s concert at the Greater Noida’s Galotias University, Delhi’s Indraprastha ‘Millennium’ Park was not left behind as sitar maestro Asad Khan and the band, “Fusion Messengers” mesmerised a huge audience.

The group took on audiences with the most unusual mix, crossing classical Indian genres with jazz, flamenco, electronic and folk music. The crowd was left with raptures as unique renditions of the Indian and German national anthems were also performed.

The ecstatic audience at the show
“Mausam and Escape” – one of the themes from the original score of “Slumdog Millionaire” was another hit with the ecstatic audience.

“Fusion Messengers” who regularly play for A. R. Rahman during his world tours apart from many other jazz and world music festivals across the globe, gave Dellites a perfect Sunday evening with a captivating blend of music.

Asad Khan has earlier performed at the Classic Incantations tour with the German Film Orchestra – Babelsberg held in India and Germany.

“It is a matter of extreme pleasure for us to contribute to this huge project that will further strengthen the music and cultural ties between the two nations. I have been involved with the year of Germany in India since the Classic Incantations tour and it feels great to associate with the project again for a live audience at such a spectacular venue”, Khan observed.

The programme was held on the occasion of the ongoing nine-day event titled – “Germany-India 2011 – 2012: Infinite Opportunities” which is a special initiative to mark and celebrate 60 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
