Naba Chhandam is proud to present “Ghazal Safarnama” (Journey of Ghazal Through Ages), a unique musical event that will take you on a journey through the remarkable development of Ghazal, from its inception to its contemporary forms. Ghazal is more than just a musical style; it is an art form that combines Urdu poetry and music, allowing each artist the freedom to express sur (melody) and kavya (poetry) in their own distinctive way.

The event will feature performances by several esteemed artists:

Padmasri Anup Jalota: An Indian singer, musician, and actor, best known for his contributions to the bhajan and ghazal genres. He is popularly known as the “Bhajan Samrat” and was awarded the Padma Shri by the Government of India in 2012. He will commemorate the works of Pankaj Udhas, Mohammed Rafi, and Bhupinder Singh, in addition to performing many of his own ghazals.

Vidushi Prabhati Mukherjee: An eminent vocalist and top-grade Hindustani music performer. She is a disciple of the maestros Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan and Begum Akhtar, the “Queen of Ghazal”. The unique blend of both gurus is reflected in her voice. She will perform retro ghazals, transporting the audience back to the nostalgic black and white era.

Sri Chandan Dass: A highly respected and acclaimed ghazal singer in India, known for his sweet voice and captivating performances. His popularity has solidified his position as a prominent figure among contemporary ghazal singers. He will be presenting his own Ghazals to mesmerise the audience.
