Jagjit Singh charms St Louis ghazal lovers

Ghazal King Jagjit Singh charmed St. Louis ghazal lovers at Missouri Baptist University Auditorium. This live concert was presented by Trilogy Mortgage, -Abdul Wadood and Rahim Paracha- with the support of Seema Enterprises and Seema World Travel.

Over 800 attended this event. Jagjit Singh was accompanied by six talented musicians (Abhinand, Sunil, Shyam, Atul, Deepak, and Javed) with guitar, sitar, dholak, tablas, flute and saxophone. It was truly a memorable performance. The performance started with "kaun kehta hain mohabbat ki zuban hoti hai" followed by hit ghazals of Jagjit Singh from the last four decades such as "yeh daulat bhi le lo", "tumko dekha to", "apko dekh kar", "meeti da baba", and more. Jagjit Singh paid tribute to the late music director Naushad with his song "bachpan ki mohabbat ko". Jagjit Singh presented a thrilling ghazal night for members of the St. Louis Indo-Pak community. It was a wonderful experience for all and many yearned for a repeat performance.
