Legendary Carnatic vocalist , playback singer and composer Dr . M . Balamuralikrishna passed away on November 22 , 2016 . A child prodigy ; a musician who was an integral part of the industry for almost 8 decades ; staged several thousand performances left behind a huge void which any musician can hardly achieve . He will be dearly missed .
With campaign victories and commitments such as Gender equality , Quality Education , Water , Sanitation and hygiene . India witnessed one of the biggest live concerts on November 19th . The first ever Global Citizen festival happened in Mumbai . Global Citizen India is a movement brought by Global Citizen , a social action platform , and The Global Education and Leadership Foundation ( TGELF ), an organization focused on cultivating ethical , altruistic leadership to improve the state of the planet through collective action .
The festival was headlined by Coldplay , Jay Z , Demi Lovato , A . R . Rahman , and other Bollywood actors and singers . People who attended the concert felt the magic of Chris Martin ; had several rounds of goosebumps and tears filled their eyes . No one would forget the mment when A . R . Rahman walked out to the front singing ‘ Vande Mataram ’ standing right next to Chris Martin . The crowd was ecstatic when duo belted out ‘ Maa tujhe Salaam ’ together ! Chris also took the audience by surprise when he sang a few lines of ‘ Channa Mereya ’
I would be happy if such concerts made an impact on the citizens of the world and sincerely hope it is not a festival with a difference just for the sake of it .
