Dfusion Jhakanaka: A treat for the youngsters

Sana performing at the concert

Although there were complaints that the venue was not spacious enough for the number of people that showed up, the sound system was not satisfactory and the stage was not high enough for the artistes to be visible; most agreed that the performances of the artistes were topnotch.

The show began with Black's rendering of popular numbers, such as Obhiman, Amar Prithibi, Miththa, Parahito, Blues and Roud. It was around 4:45 in the afternoon but the music lovers did not seem to be bothered by the scorching summer sun. They swayed and rocked with the music.

Indian Idol finalist Rahul Saxena took the stage and received a warm welcome from the audience. Rahul performed popular Hindi songs like Kal Ho Na Ho, Chanda Ve Ghar Aaja, Zindagi Hain Chaar Din and Jogiya. Rahul seemed ecstatic with the response he received from the audience and exclaimed, "You guys are awesome".

The next artiste to take the stage was the runner up Indian Idol, Amit Sana. Dressed in a leather jacket in the unbearable heat, Sana seemed very composed and confident. He rendered the Indian Idol song Mohabbatein Lutaaunga and the crowd went wild. Sana received rounds of applause as he performed Yamma Yamma, Ishq Kabhi Kariyo Na. An interesting incident: when Sana began singing Suno Suno Duniyawalo…Sabse Aage Hongey Hum Hindustani and the crowd didn't react positively to the song. Sana quickly changed the lyric of the song to Sabse Aage Hongey Hum Bangladeshi and the crowd sang along cheerfully.

Miles captivated the crowd with their immensely popular songs Chaand Tara Shurjo, Neela, Dhiki Dhiki and Silk Route performed their 'claim to fame' Dooba Dooba.

The concert marked the launch of Grameen Phone's new package, 'djuice' and was coordinated by Kolpodroom.
