Here is a clip of "Awargi Blues," my reinterpretation of Ustad Ghulam Ali’s ghazal. We gave it a jazz and blues twist, blending soulful vocals with improvisational sitar and a groovy rhythm section.
This is a live performance of "Bhimpalasi Reimagined." I took a traditional raga and explored it with a modern arrangement, showing how the core of Indian classical music can be presented in a new, contemporary light.
A solitary moment on a big stage, under the lights at The Piano Man. Even with a full band, there are moments in a concert where it's just me and my sitar, connecting with the audience through a single melody.
Sharing a laugh with my bandmates on stage. The energy and camaraderie between us is a huge part of our live performances. It’s this connection that makes the music so joyful and spontaneous.

About The Mehtab Ali Niazi Experience: Live Fusion Concerts
When you book my full ensemble, we create a complete soundscape that blends the sitar with drums, bass, and violin. Because we mix acoustic Indian classical with modern electronic elements, I always require a 90-minute soundcheck before the event to get the acoustic-electric mix perfectly balanced for your venue.
My live concerts, known as The Mehtab Ali Niazi Experience, are where I bridge the gap between ancient tradition and modern energy. My setlist is never set in stone. I might open with a meditative raga, transition into an improvisational jazz-fusion piece, and finish with a high-energy rock-infused sitar track.
Whether you are hosting a corporate event or a private celebration in Delhi or Mumbai, I adapt my ensemble to fit your space. For smaller, intimate settings, I offer an acoustic trio featuring sitar, tabla, and guitar or violin, which is perfect for corporate dinners or upscale social gatherings. If you want a full-blown concert experience, I bring my 6-piece band, including a dedicated sound engineer, to ensure the drums and bass groove alongside the sitar. My goal is to break the silence with music that feels both grounded and unexpected.
Mehtab Ali Niazi
I grew up with the sitar in my hands, learning from the masters. For me, music is a prayer, but on stage, it turns into a conversation between instruments. Whether I am playing a meditative raga or a rock-infused fusion track, I just want to connect with you.
