On the evening of June 5, fans in Mumbai will witness the refreshing signature sound of singer Lucky Ali. The singer-songwriter, composer, actor, philanthropist, farmer and horse breeder will take the stage and woo audiences with his husky rough-edged voice and strikingly simple ballad-style singing.The opening act is by Mumbai-based Pratyul Joshi, who carries the same invigorating whiff of timelessness in his music. Pratyul is a fast-rising singer-songwriter who is a believer of free-form music, not confined to any one genre.

Timbre, a Mumbai-based firm, will bridge that gap with a multi-dimensional top-of-the-line concert in Blue Frog on Friday. It will have cutting edge soundscaping and 3D mapping (to not only improve the audio but also the aesthetic feel of the concert).

TOIEntertain Curator Abhishaik Desai shares the idea behind this rare concert, “Indians will readily pay a high sum for an international act, whereas they hesitate paying even half the amount for Indian artistes. This is because when Indian bands perform, the focus is only on the star, production of the event is neglected and costs are cut. With this concert, we are confident that when people leave the venue, they will feel the money was a pittance in comparison to the experience had.” Whether this holds true or not, there’s only one way to find out.
