Hello all!
On the occasion of Eid yesterday, some friends from Kashmir organised a concert of Kashmiri artists from all over the globe.
It was a fundraising concert to help the people of Kashmir during these difficult times.
Our band Alif's vocalist - Mohammad Muneem - being from Kashmir was asked to perform and the two of us arranged a 20 mins set for the concert.
Here is the full concert video. We are the first one's in the lineup:
People from all over the world were watching and I am glad to say that a total of INR 4 million was raised during the concert.
Around 3.5L was raise live during out performance itself:
You can see in the screenshot above that between 10:30pm and 11pm - which was the time of out performance, we raised approximately INR 3.5L !!
This really feels amazing and kudos to everyone who donated during the live stream, you guys are legends! :)
There are some amazing artists in the line up - so please do check out all performances.
We also had Zeb Bangash - of Coke Studio fame - close of the concert with her coke studio rendition of the popular Kashmirir Folk tune - Roshe.
Kashmir has been under lockdown not only because of the Coronoa Virus but also because of the political situation since August 5 2019. This is almost 10 months now!
Music is not just for entertainment, it has the power to change the world!
In these difficult times, all we need as humans to spread some love and compassion and bring people together.
Here is hoping peace and compassion for everyone.
Eid Mubarak!
