It has been a rollercoaster ride from relative obscurity to instant stardom for the five finalists of Indian Idol 2018, three of whom, Neelanjana Ray, Nitin Kumar and the winner, Salman Ali, are set to perform to sell-out audience in Cape Town.
Whilst the competition has been popular since its inception, this season of Indian Idols 10 enjoyed unprecedented interest. Millions of viewers worldwide have been glued to their seats weekly for the last 7 months as some of India’s untapped but inherently talented singers made their presence felt after many rounds of gruelling competition.
The culturally unique band has the amazing ability to fuse cultures to music to provide a fusion and a hybrid performance like no other. The multiple musical traditions and cultures of India with the fresh and modern western pop gives a unique style of music.
They have captured the imagination and hearts of the world with sheer talent and their endearing personalities. Judges and critics alike have been in awe at the quality of the contestants and believe that they will evolve into the future stars of the Indian music scene.
Their meteoric rise has resulted in them being booked for live shows all around the world, with London, Canada, South Africa and Nigeria are lucky to get a first bite at the apple.
