At a recent concert in Dubai, Arijit Singh left the audience in awe
with a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Punjabi singer, Amar Singh
Chamkila. Singh's homage to Chamkila, known for his influential
contributions to Punjabi folk music, added a poignant touch to the
evening.
As Singh took to the stage, the anticipation among the audience was
palpable. His soulful voice filled the venue, transporting listeners
on a musical journey through Chamkila's iconic repertoire. This was
the first time Arijit was singing 'Vida Karo' live. With each note,
Singh paid homage to Chamkila's unique style and profound impact on
the Punjabi music scene.
Singh's tribute was not merely a performance but a heartfelt
expression of admiration and respect for Chamkila's legacy. Through
his rendition of Chamkila's timeless classic, Singh honored the spirit
and essence of Chamkila's music.
The audience was deeply moved by Singh's tribute, with many fans
expressing their appreciation for his heartfelt rendition of
Chamkila's song.
As the concert came to a close, the audience erupted into applause,
expressing their gratitude for Singh's moving tribute to Chamkila. For
many, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, a moment of connection
and celebration of two musical legends united by their passion for
music.
At the same concert, Arijit also encountered an unexpected moment when
he failed to recognise Pakistani actress Mahira Khan seated among theaudiences. Ironically Arijit was singing the song 'Zaalima' from
'Raees' that was picturised on Mahira Khan. Apologising for not
recognising the actress who was seated in the front row, Arijit said,
"You guys must be surprised, should I reveal? I should reveal it in a
very nice way. Can we have the camera there? I was trying to recognise
this person, then remembered I had sung for her. Ladies and gentlemen
Mahira Khan is sitting right in front of me. Think about it, I was
singing her song Zaalima and it’s her song and she was singing and
standing and I couldn’t recognise her. I am so sorry, ma'am. Gratitude
and thank you so much.”
