“HE IS ALL THAT… HE IS BIGGER THAN THE BEATLES”, reports Home News Tribune, U.S. A.
The “Powerhouse of Performance”, Mehndi’s high voltage performances are unique confluence of ‘Dhol’, ‘tabla’ & other Indian rhythms fused with just the right element of western instruments. His highly energetic power pitched voice supported by a pugnacious spirit creates magic.
Daler and his team of musicians create an atmosphere that is highly electric. Daler Mehndi concert tours in USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, Europe, UAE, South Africa, East Africa, Oman, Bahrain, Malaysia, Pakistan, Hong Kong, Singapore, West Indies, Belgium, Holland to name a few have had crowds swooning to his music and dancing away to glory. One such ecstatic quote by a fan described his music as “the stairway to Heaven”.
A live wire entertainer, his performances are packaged with exquisite choreography and famous hook dance steps. Not only his scintillating performances leave the audience spell bound, his famous jumps and swirls have had one journalist report post a Singapore concert – “If Daler’s legs found a lawyer they would sue his pants off them. That’s the way Daler jigs around so frantically that it is almost infectious, like a ballerina on steroids.”
His mannerisms & dance steps are infectious to the extent that when international acts come to India they use his famous words or steps like ‘balle balle’, ‘chak de phatte’, tunak tunak dance step or rab rab jigs which create an instant connect with Indian Audiences.
Declared as “Superlative” by his music label & the Nation, Mehndi’s brand of entertainment supersedes many predecessors in the industry. Every movie, T.V serial or commercial emulates his persona or his dreamy style or his songs. As the CEO of MTV puts “He is an artist who straddles the classes as well as the masses”, Mehndi lives up to the hype of his brand of music as he plays the pied piper to the zillions of his audiences.
