A band of singers took the audience on a nostalgic trip at the Mohammad Rafi tribute concert on Saturday, July 22 at Avondale College. Titled ‘Who Jab Yaad Aaye’ the evergreen hit song from the 1963 film ‘Parasmani’, the event witnessed Auckland’s top sensational voices sing the melodies of the yesteryears.
Umesh Sharma, a singer, himself organised and hosted the show. The audience hummed alongside him every song he sang on the stage. Every song met with hoots, whistles and applause that was followed by another great performance.
Voices of renowned Auckland artists Guncha, Rini Dadheech, Bhavna Suroshi, Sweta Diwekar and Sreeutha Nannegari echoed in the hall while the audience hypnotised themselves into the melody.
The event played the melancholy as well as the joyous numbers sung by legendary singer Mohammed Rafi. Singers Ravi and Dharmesh joined Umesh on stage to sing the songs sung by Rafi, Kishore and Mukesh together.
Mayur Patel on keyboards and Chirag on Rhythm who travelled from Mumbai, India especially for the event, wowed the audience with his performance at the tribute concert.
Raat Ke Humsafar from the film An Evening in Paris, Jo Wada Kiya Wo Nibhana Padega from Taj Mahal, O Hasina Zulfon Wali from Teesri Manzil, Main Pyar Ka Rahi Hoon from Ek Musafir Ek Hasina and Saare Shehar Me Aapsa Koi Nahi from Bairaag were some of the many songs played at the concert.
A medley of songs sung by Asha Bhosle and Lata Mangeshkar was also presented to the audience, and it was received with another set of applause.
The event concluded with a standing ovation for the singers.
