Sitar and Zitar Bollywood Music for Events

My musical journey is about balance. I use the acoustic Sitar when you need something elegant, like for a wedding pheras or a formal dinner, where tracks like 'Laal Ishq' or 'Vida Karo' create a serene atmosphere. However, for Sangeets or lively cocktail evenings, I switch to my Zitar—the electric sitar. This allows me to play upbeat Bollywood covers like 'Pehle Bhi Main' or 'Bolna' with enough punch to stand out even in a busy room.

How to Plan Your Set

When you book me, we can curate the setlist together. I draw from a wide repertoire of contemporary film music, ensuring that the songs your guests know and love are presented in a fresh, instrumental format. My performances are usually structured in sets, allowing me to transition from slow, melodic sections to faster, rhythmic pieces as the event progresses.

Technical Requirements

I aim to make the logistics as simple as possible. For a solo performance, I generally only require a standard PA system with two decent microphones and a monitor speaker. If you opt for my fusion band or a jugalbandi with a tabla player, I provide a detailed tech rider well in advance. Since I am based in Mumbai but travel across India for events, I appreciate at least two weeks of lead time, especially if you have custom song requests that require special practice.
