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.
