Inseparable
three some exude josh Chandigarh, April 13 The group was in the city for the third time today at Planet M in Sector 17. This time, they turned on the jivers at the music store by singing all-time hits, like Malkit Singh’s Tootak Tutak, “Rang Barse Bheege Chunar Wali” and other pulsating songs of the 1970s. The spirited
performance, somehow, does not manage to bog down the three boys. Admit Jasmeet and Jolly, the two MBA graduates, who have temporarily divorced business administration for love of music, “It’s a process of rejuvenation. The more energy you spill, the more you assimilate. Music can never be tiring enough.” “Joshilay”, the band that combines the singing prowess of Jasmeet and Jolly and the instrumental talent of Julius Packiam, is doing the rounds of the country’s stages these days. The first good thing that happened to the three was the coming together under the band called Sound Design. The hallmark of the band is its capability to blend Punjabi folk influences with Western urban beats. So while their songs sound smart and contemporary, they also exude a lot of Indianness, rooted as they are in the Indian folk strains. Jasmeet Singh, an MBA from Delhi started singing at a very young age and bagged numerous awards. He loves Punjabi pop and Hindi film hits which are rhythmic and thunderous at the same time. Amandeep Singh Jolly was inspired into music by his father and has already sung for three albums. He is also an MBA. He is particularly famous for his powerful stage performances. Julius has always been into playing music. His influences range from Jim Reeve, Nat King Cole and Elvis and Western classical music. It was a Joshilay performance all through with the show compered by Aftaab Sandhu. |
