Sukhwinder will be performing live with an ensemble of leading Bollywood musicians and is all set to set the stage at the DAR Constitution Hall on fire come May 8, 2010.
Local Impresario, Puneet Ahluwalia who is promoting Singh’s show in Washington DC is all excited over the initial response of the Indian Diaspora living in the Washington DC metropolitan area. " Sukhwinder Singh is bigger than the limits that are put on him. It all has to do with the individual journey of this great international singer and music director , and that the individual’s journey in the US begins on May 8," stated Ahluwalia.
Ahluwalia is simultaneously promoting a new reality talent show "Your Minutes of Fame" For the first time ever, talented individuals of the South Asian Diaspora are being provided a platform through this ground-breaking new reality phenomenon- "Your Minutes of Fame," informed Ahluwalia. Many different talents can be exhibited in the series, such as contortionism, juggling, magic tricks, stand-up comedy & beat boxing, aside from singing and dancing acts. The winner will be given the unique opportunity to perform at the Sukhwinder Singh Concert.
Sukhwinder shot to fame with "Chaiyya Chaiyya" for which he won the Filmfare award for the best playback singer in 1999. This song was also featured in the musical Bombay Dreams. This song was so inspiring that noted Hollywood director sent a message of multiculturalism by using the same song for the title credit of his blockbuster film – Inside Man.
Sukhwinder was unstoppable and acquired more international fame for the award winning song ‘Jai Ho’ from the award winning movie Slumdog Millionaire.
Sukhwinder’s other notable hits are:- Chak De India… Dard-e-Disco, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, Beedi, Jalwa, Aaj Mera Jee Kardaa, Ramta Jogi, Dhan Te Nan and many, many more.
So popular is Sukhwinder that sponsors are clamoring to be a part of this historic concert. Center for Social Change, King fisher, Hilton Hotels, TV Asia , Zee TV and Datbazaarmedia-the media arm of Databazaarmedia.com, are the lead sponsors for this concert.
I was really excited to see Sukhwinder, and yesterday my family and I drove 5 hours just to see him in California’s Great America. However, when we got there we were told that the concert had been postponed because Sukhwinder couldn’t get his visa, and that they had been advertising its cancelation so we should’ve known. Us and the other hundreds of people there should have known it was canceled. Good job on getting the message across guys, and nice to leave the visa thing till the last minute. That’s how the concert went.
