On a special evening at The Quorum, Mumbai, KAQI Talents’ artist Snehdeep Singh Kalsi took the stage to pay a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Gulzar Sahab. The event, held in celebration of the launch of Gulzar Sahab’s latest book Dhoop Aane Do, was a beautiful fusion of literature, poetry, and music, where Snehdeep honored the 90-year-old icon’s timeless contribution to Indian cinema and music.
Snehdeep’s performance was distinctive, featuring a minimal yet powerful three-piece setup. With Snehdeep on vocals and harmonium, he was accompanied by Surjeet Singh on tabla and Ameya Paranjpe on guitar. Together, the trio captivated the audience with soulful renditions of some of Gulzar Sahab’s most beloved songs.

The setlist was a musical journey through Gulzar’s work, including unforgettable classics like:

• -Kaminey
• -Iss Mod Se
• -Naam Gum Jaayega
• -Mera Kuch Saaman
• -Tum Aa Gaye Ho
• -Na Jiya Laage Na
• -Dil Dhoondhta Hai
• -Tere Bina Zindagi Se
• -Chappa Chappa...and many more.

The intimate setting of The Quorum, combined with Snehdeep’s heartfelt voice and the unique blend of harmonium, tabla, and guitar, created an unforgettable atmosphere. Each song carried the essence of Gulzar Sahab’s poetic genius, and the audience was immersed in a world of nostalgia, emotion, and artistry.

This evening was more than just a musical performance; it was a tribute to Gulzar Sahab’s enduring legacy—a celebration of his profound love for words, music, and the art of storytelling. As Snehdeep performed, the audience could feel the deep connection between the music and Gulzar’s lyrical brilliance. It was an experience that brought his words to life, making the night truly memorable for all in attendance.
