The living legend did it again - Gurdas Mann lived up to popular
expectations and set the stage on "musical fire" at
the Event Center Arena at San Jose State University on Saturday,
April 26th. The event, promoted by Mehta Entertainment in association
with Lal Bhatia, was largely attended by fans of Gurdas Mann,
some coming as far as the mid-west.
Upcoming Punjabi singer Minu Singh started the musical evening
with a few of her songs and a bollywood number. The mood was upbeat
even before the star ascended the stage, with the help of the
mistress of ceremonies, Asha Sharma, as she introduced Mann with
her sweet, wittiness of words.
Then the legendary and handsome Gurdas Mann, dressed in a yellow
lungi kurta, his trademark tambourine in his hand, took center
stage and employed his individual traits of a poet, actor, folk
dancer and a cultivated singer to make his performance and the
evening memorable. Mann began the concert with a religious number,
before belting out some of his most beautiful numbers- from his
evergreen "Challa", to songs like "Lakh pardesi
hoyiye", "Apna Punjab Hove", "Mamla Garbar
Hai", "Baabe bhangra paonde", "Ishaq da girdha",
"Pind Thiyan Galiyan" and many more as the audience
was clapping and even singing with Gurdas. Gurdas Mann entertained
all night long.
Promoter Deepak Mehta stated, "I worked hard to have a great
sound, lighting and security at this Gurdas Mann concert so the
audience could thoroughly enjoy their experience here over his
past concerts. All the fans left with big smiles, so I know I
accomplished what I set out to do. Not to mention, Gurdas is a
superb performer and he gave a mesmerizing performance for hours."
Mehta Entertainment and Gurdas Mann were honored and awarded
with a special recognition by the City of San Jose Vice Mayor
Davi Cortefe in appreciation for their contribution in providing
family entertainment in the Indo-American community.
Mehta Entertainment's Publicist Jinder K. Chohan mentioned, "After
the show, it was a great pleasure to see Gurdas Mann posing with
the hundred of fans lined up outside his dressing room. He posed
and smiled with all, with great enthusiasm –something that
you rarely see in the Bollywood world. It's no surprise how this
charming man continues to win over new fans everyday."
