The crowd of over 200 people was completely immersed in his music, feeding off the brilliant energy from the stage. The concert proved that music truly transcends language barriers. Some of them even went on to the stage and shook a leg with Kher. For Prasanna, a software engineer, Kher’s music was therapeutic. He says, “His vocals, his rapport with the audience, everything was incredible. My friends and I went berserk when Kher was performing Teri Deewani.”Kailash Kher speaks just as wonderfully as he sings and this came across when the ‘Saiyan’ reprised his magical numbers and besotted Chennaiites with his impeccable voice. For Shilpa, Kher’s performance meant more than just an excuse to sway to some tunes. It made her emotional, in her own words, especially when he sang Ma Meri Ma. “I thought Kailash’s music was very soulful. The music seemed to come from the deepest part of his heart. Also, Kailash was a thorough performer, making us laugh with his funny stories and observations,” she says. Just like Prasanna and Shilpa, a lot of Kher’s fans were fascinated with his sufi music and stayed connected right till the end of the show. Also seen at the event was actor Karthi, along with his father Sivakumar and wife Ranjini, thoroughly enjoying every bit of it![email protected]
