Sangam Kala Group organises global music competition Sangeet Deewane
New Delhi/IBNS: Sangam Kala Group, a Delhi-based non-commercial registered organisation which works in areas of cultural promotion, organised a global music competition called Sangeet Deewane.
Supported by LIC, a leading Indian insurance and investment body, the audition for the competition was organised online and received a huge response from different corners of the globe.
Auditions were held for two groups -- Senior (31 to 55 years) and Veteran (above 55 years).
VSK Sood, Global President, Sangam Kala Group said that age is not a factor when you are a music lover.
Present at the finale were leading names from the Indian entertainment industry, including Usha Uthup, Javed Ali, Bhajan Samrat Anup Jalota, Ahmed Hussain and Muhammad Hussain, Kavita Seth, Shibani Kashyap, and Abhayendra Upadhyay.
Doyen of Indian pop music, Usha Uthup, who was the chief guest for the evening, said, “I am very happy to do this kind of work – Virtual Show – it is God's grace and love of my audience and you all who have supported me for 51 years in my singing career. 51 years in the industry without a godfather and a godmother. It's really all because of you and the audience.”
“Many thanks to LIC India Forever for empowering this entire show. Sangam Kala Group is a wonderful group and I want to thank you all tonight. I know it would have been impossible for me without you all. Thank you so much for inviting me tonight and thank you to all the wonderful singers who are going to sing here. I want to wish everyone success,” said Uthup.
Winners of Sangeet Deewane were Dr. Shobhana Kashyap in the Senior Category and M N Kannanunni in the Veteran Category.
Celebrity guest Javed Ali said, “I am a big believer in the fact that some things happen with time. For years, I was planning to join the Sangam Kala Group but could not join due to some reasons. But, I think joining the group was pre-planned by some higher power.
