oops, Band!

the rapchik tunes of Dhinka Chika from Ready Speaking to Indian Link later, Bharan Narula revealed that the group was founded in 2009.

“Our robust passion for music brought us together. We have since had wonderful opportunities to perform at Holi Mahotsav in Darling Harbour, Cultural night, Diwali Mela at Parramatta Stadium… It’s been an incredible journey, discovering not only the beauty of music but equally the impact it can have on people’s lives.”

The Kurbat team donated all the funds collected on the night to the Australian Red Cross.

Kurbat has won mass appeal of the kind that has rarely been seen among our community’s youth. The buzurgs have their ghazal scene and ‘memories of yesteryear’ kind of events which try to bring alive the sound of bygone stars such as Hemant Kumar, but this music is alien to today’s youth. Kurbat seems to have filled this gap by bringing them the sound of today, which effortlessly mixes Indian sensibilities with an international feel. Kudos to Kurbat’s kamaal and dhamaal!
