A.R. RAHMAN AUR RETRO REWIND - Live Band in Camden Club

A.R. RAHMAN AUR RETRO REWIND - Live Band in Camden Club sobe ao palco de 28 a 29 de novembro de 2026, The Camden Club, em London.

Get ready for the show that bridges four decades of Bollywood's greatest hits. Join Desi Adda London for an unforgettable evening as we take you from the golden era of Rafi and Kumar Sanu all the way through to the contemporary genius of A.R. Rahman—plus everything in between. This isn't your typical acoustic setlist. We're bringing drums, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass, and cajon to do justice to these timeless songs. What to Expect: Two distinct halves, seamlessly woven together, each with its own energy, emotion, and vibe. Event Format: Standing Only | No Reserved Seating FIRST HALF: A.R. RAHMAN CLASSICS 90 minutes of pure Rahman magic We're diving deep into A.R. Rahman's unparalleled catalogue—the songs that defined modern Bollywood. This half celebrates Rahman's masterpieces that exist across Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu languages, giving us the freedom to oscillate between versions and layers of the same song, showcasing its beauty in different linguistic textures. From the haunting streets of Dil Se to the explosive energy of Taal, from the intimacy of Bombay to the global phenomenon of Slumdog Millionaire—expect a curated, high-energy journey through 25+ years of Grammy-winning composition. The Twist: For the first time, we're expanding beyond our signature acoustic sound. Drums and electric guitar join our core band to capture the full production value these songs deserve. Rahman's work demands it. And we're delivering. SECOND HALF: RETRO HINDI CLASSICS & NEW 90 minutes spanning Rafi to Diljit Time travel with us through the voices and songs that shaped Indian cinema and culture. We're spanning five decades and multiple generations of vocalists: Rafi & Kumar Sanu – The golden age of Bollywood romance Sonu Nigam – The 90s & 2000s romantic revolution Arijit Singh – Indie-influenced heartbreak and introspection Diljit Dosanjh – Contemporary Punjabi-Bollywood fusion Disco Classics – Dance floor energy and pure fun A mix of beloved retro hits, underrated deep cuts, and newer songs that already feel iconic. Don't expect a quiet night—this half is built for singalongs, nostalgia, and energy. VENUE Camden Club NW1 8AN, London Intimate, historic, perfect acoustics.
