Because this is designed as a 'baithak' (seated listening) experience, please ensure your venue has a basic sound system ready with at least three microphones and two stage monitors, as my package does not include external sound gear for these specific dates. ### The Soul of a Mehfil There is something incredibly special about a room full of people listening to the words of Jagjit Singh or Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. My approach to these evenings is not just about singing; it is about creating a conversation. Whether it is a cozy living room gathering or a dedicated music night, the goal is to pause the rush of life and just listen. ### How We Set the Vibe - **Authentic Instrumentation:** I perform with a dedicated tabla player and a harmonium/keyboard support musician. This trio setup provides that classic, organic sound that recordings just cannot replicate. - **The Setting:** We prefer a 'baithak' style, which works best in spaces where the audience is seated comfortably and focused on the performance. - **Repertoire:** From the deep ghazals of Mehdi Hassan to soulful Sufi classics, I curate the setlist based on the mood of the room. I love taking requests and telling the stories behind the songs. ### Practical Details for Hosts * **Sound Requirements:** Since we focus on acoustic quality, I require the client to provide the sound system (PA, 3 mics, stands, 2 monitors). If you have questions about what gear works best for your specific room size, let me know when you message me. * **Duration:** These sets usually run up to 120 minutes. We can split this into two segments if you prefer a break for conversation. * **Space:** We do not need a massive stage. A clean, comfortable corner of your venue is perfect for the ensemble to sit and perform. If you want to host a night that feels personal, quiet, and musically rich, I would love to be part of it. Let’s connect and talk about your event. ## About Ishaan Nigam Namaste, I am Ishaan. Coming from Bahraich to Mumbai, my music journey has always been about making a real connection.
