Has life ever been fair? India’s successful playback singer Sonu Niigaam states rather philosophically when probed about singers who take recourse in digital technology experts to address the shortcomings in their singing scale range.
“I don’t have any opinion on people,” he told Qatar News Agency. “Everyone has the right to benefit from the natural process of growth in society and the world. It does result in an unfair competition, but then... when has life entirely been fair ever?”
Nigam avoided criticising artistes who have adapted advances in sound recording and mixing technology to mask their vocal limitations.
Has digital technology increased competition in Bollywood playback singing and entertainment industry? “Yes,” said Niigaam and “mediocrity too”.
Fans in Doha can expect to hear some of Niigaam’s celebrated songs during his concert organised by Regency Travel and Tours at the Khalifa Tennis Stadium tomorrow.
“Niigaam is a gifted singer and an icon of music world,” said Tareq Abdullatif Taha, chief executive officer, Regency Travel & Tours. “He has so many fans in Doha so we thought of inviting him as part of our expansion into event management.”
“It is an honour to host Niigaam,” said N M Shafiq, general manager, Regency Travel & Tours.
“I haven’t really gotten a chance to properly see Doha although I have come here a couple of times,” said Niigaam when asked about his endearing memories of Qatar. “All I take home are the memories of the audiences. They are great, warm and true lovers of my music.”
Niigaam will be performing tomorrow with a troupe of 23 artistes including musicians, dancers, and sound engineers. The concert starts at 8pm.
