About Additional Work & Behind The Scenes
It takes 14 skilled musicians and hours of studio rehearsal to get that signature 'Live & Loud' sound right. Before every wedding performance, we spend time perfecting the blend of tabla, dholak, and electric guitar arrangements to ensure our fusion sound hits exactly the right note for your event.
Music is a discipline, and what you see on stage is only the final result of our intense preparation. My band, Murshid, is not just a group of musicians; we are a family dedicated to the craft of Sufi fusion. Whether we are in the studio fine-tuning a track or rehearsing for a destination wedding, the goal is always to create an authentic 'Mehfil' experience.
We document these moments because they show the real work that goes into live performances. You will see clips from our jam sessions where we experiment with arrangements, balancing the classical tabla and dholak with modern electric guitars and keyboards. This fusion is not easy to get right. It requires a deep understanding of both traditional Ghazals and contemporary Bollywood tracks.
My journey involves constant learning. I look back at my original tracks, like 'Maula Karde Karam' released in 2017, as milestones in my career. These projects, along with our studio covers like 'Zihal-e-Miskeen', help us grow as a band. When we travel for events across India, these behind-the-scenes memories are what keep our team bond strong.
If you are curious about how we prepare for your event, take a look at these clips. It is about passion, 14 dedicated musicians, and a commitment to keeping the music pure. We don't use canned tracks. Everything is played live, and every song is a conversation with the audience.
