Manna Dey to enthrall Dubai with soulful renditions tomorrow

Dubai, Nov 22 (UNI) In what is meant to be a musical treat for Hindi film music lovers, singer Manna Dey will perform live here tomorrow.

The living legend, who has enthralled UAE audience with his exceptional performances during the past few years, has always performed to a packed house.

''The forthcoming concert would be yet another addition to the list of unforgettable shows,'' the Gulf Today quoted Sunil Grover of Signature Events, organiser of the event, as saying.

''Manna Dey has stopped rendering his vocals for film songs. But we are fortunate enough that he has consented to sing his all time hit songs for his fans here,'' he added.

The singer of unforgettable songs like 'Pyaar hua ikraar hua', 'Ek chatur naar karke singaar', 'Laaga chunari mein daag', 'Yeh raat bheegi bheegi', and the likes, got two standing ovations during his outstanding performance an year ago.

Dey, who had been accompanied by famous playback singer Kavita Krishnamurthy during most of his performances, will be supported by another singer this time for duets.

But that is not bothering him. He quips,''As far as my performance is concerned, the change of singer will not have any effect. It is the song that matters most. When I sing songs like 'Yeh raat bheegi bheegi', who sings Lata's part doesn't matter.'' UNI
