Get ready for an unforgettable evening of Bollywood classics, Indian ragas, ghazals and contemporary music.
Swati Natekar is an illustrious and highly-accomplished singer, composer, and the voice behind hit songs such as ‘Nadia’ (with Nitin Sawhney), ‘Khwaab’ (with Niraj Chag) and ‘Jakatta American Dream’ (No. 3 on the UK charts). She has toured extensively across the world and has collaborated with the likes of Ustad Zakir Hussain, Ustad Ghulam Ali, Talvin Singh, Nitin Sawhney and Sonu Nigam.
After last year’s extraordinarily successful national tour, Swati returns to Liverpool with a brand-new concept – ‘Raag-Rang’ – Shades of Ragas. Accompanied on stage by a collective of the UK’s most talented musicians, she’ll perform Bollywood classics and popular ghazals alongside the classical raga equivalent, giving audiences unique and inspiring insight into how popular songs are developed from classical roots.
Swati will also be paying tribute to India’s legendary vocalist, the late Lata Mangeshkar, with a specially curated selection of her most beloved melodies.
