Soul Strings

In town for a debut gig at Kava in Sector 26,the band,Sunda says,will perform every Wednesday night at the same venue. “Picture ambient,chilled out lounge music with a lot of world music influences — that’s Sufigram,” says Sunda. “There will be a lot of Baba Bulle Shah,Shah Hussain,Hazrat Sultan Bahu and so on,” reveals Khan,who wants to consciously stay away from hardcore loud Punjabi music. “My forte,my heart lies in Sufi,and that’s what I want to sing,” he says.

To catapult the whole performance to another level,Sunda will also blend it with rap and sher-o-shayari. “There will be a live jugalbandi of song,poetry,Urdu couplets and kafia,” He assures that this will add to the tempo. “I am a writer and poet and Sufigram is one place where we will get some creative satisfaction,” says the rapper,who also runs the famous dhol/percussion outfit Buzz Funk. The group organised the music for Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra’s wedding. “We also came out with an album,Chase the Passion. Once Sufigram hits the floors,there will be another album,” says Sunda.

The band will also upload the gigs on YouTube within two weeks. “Sufigram is hardly a month old and our aim is to make you relax and dance to music,” says Sunda. The members believe that sufi is one genre which grows on you and never goes out of fashion. “You are always in sync with the divine,” they sign off in unison.
