In the spirit of ‘Ehsaas’, a festival dedicated to celebrating the rich heritage of ghazals, experience an evening of classics! The first day of the festival features an unforgettable tribute to the legendary Mehdi Hasan Sahab and Jagjit Singh Sahab, performed by Mohammed Vakil.   

A maestro deeply rooted in classical tradition, Vakil carries forward a musical lineage shaped by his maternal uncles, Ustad Mohammad Hussain and Ustad Ahmed Hussain. His performances seamlessly blend the elegance of Raagdari and Roohdari with contemporary elements, captivating audiences with flawless execution and profound emotion. His renditions weave together themes of love, longing, philosophy, and mysticism, echoing the essence of ghazals that have touched hearts for centuries. 

This special tribute connects the legacy of iconic artists through a carefully curated selection of timeless classics, including Hosh Walon Ko Khabar Kya, Baat Niklegi To Phir Door Talak Jayegi, Ranjish Hi Sahi, and many more.
