It was a perfect evening for all the Sufi aficionados in Auckland as famous singer duo Nooran Sisters gave an electrifying performance in the city on December 3.
Saturday evening at Vodafone Events Centre saw Jyoti and Sultana Nooran crooning their popular numbers like Allah Hoo, Patakha Guddi and Tung Tung among many others in the packed hall, that left the audience asking for more.
The sisters, who hail from Jalandhar, India and follow the Sham Chaurasi Gharana and Mirasi traditions of music, enthralled one and all with the high on energy performance which went on for over three hours. Audiences were seen enjoying their vocal range as well as their trademark style which includes clapping above their heads during singing.
The duo was also accompanied by their father Gulshan Meer, who accompanied them on the harmonium along with occasional singing during the concert. The Nooran family also shared a few experiences and anecdotes of their musical journey which has been full of problems as their family didn’t have enough money.
One of the highlights of the show was when the duo sang a Tamil song amidst a loud applause.
Talking about their experience of performing in New Zealand, Jyoti said, "I am so happy to be in New Zealand and performing in front of such a just great audience. It is overwhelming. I have never seen such a great audience" Sharing the same sentiment, Sultana said, "We are so humbled by all the love and affection we have got here. We would surely want to come back to New Zealand soon. I would like to say a big thank you to everyone for their love."
The sisters, who are blessed with strong voice along with pleasing personalities, shot to fame thanks to MTV Soundtrippin and Coke Studio and are slowly but steadily creating a niche for themselves.
