Abhi To Main Jawaan Hoon:

January 2004
Abhi To Main Jawaan Hoon:

Fans of vintage Hindi film music had a nostalgic treat on December 5 when Panorama, a Mumbai based musical group led by Shekhar Deshpande, provided music from the 40s thru the 70s at the IACA auditorium. The concert, called Abhi To Main Jawaan Hoon, was brought to Atlanta by local promoter Mustafa Ajmeri and was organized by the IACA with support from the KL Saigal Society of USA.

A heartwarming experience of immortal songs from yesteryears, the show paid tribute to singing legends like Suraiya, Noorjahan, Surendra, Shamshad Begum, Mohammad Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Geeta Dutt, Mukesh, Manna Dey etc. The immortal compositions of songsters Madan Mohan, Salil Chaudhury, SD Burman, RD Burman, Khayyam, Ghulam Mohammed, Roshan and Shankar Jaikishan transported the audience back to the golden age of Indian cinema. The songs included unforgettable numbers like Saiyan Dil Mein, Awaaz De Kahan Hai, Gore Gore, Aage Bhi Jaane Na Tu, Ae Mere Zohra Zabin, Ye Mera Deewanapan.

The concert went on for over five hours, well into the wee hours of the morning. The singers included Shekhar and Pranita Deshpande, Dilip Pande and Govind from Mumbai, Gayatri Rao from Hyderabad and local talents Laxmi Rao and Kala.

TV Asia host Shiraz Sharif, the emcee for the evening contributed to building a soulful mood for the evening with his select couplets and gilded expressions. Sharif presents old melodies thrice a week on the Asian channel TV Asia and has a program that goes by the same name- Abhi To Main Jawaan Hoon.
