About The Event
Singer-songwriter Vidhya Gopal and poet-lyricist Alok Ranjan Srivastava bring fresh perspective to thumri, dadra, ghazal, and classic film songs through poetry and reflection.
When timeless lyrics are heard through a contemporary lens, they reveal new meanings without losing the spirit and beauty of their origins. In ‘Gulabi Vinyl’, Vidhya Gopal and Alok Ranjan Srivastava engage with timeless musical traditions through poetry, memory, and a distinctly contemporary perspective.
Each song becomes a conversation, moving from the original composition to poetic reflections. Playful, tender, and deeply respectful, the performance allows nostalgia to meet curiosity as familiar lyrics acquire new shades of meaning.
Joined by Omkar Agnihotri on harmonium and keys, Rupak Dhamankar on tabla and percussion, Aditya Ahir on bass, and Sandeep Mishra on violin and sarangi, the ensemble creates a richly textured performance where music and poetry unfold in conversation. Beloved classics return not as memories preserved in time, but as living works renewed through imagination.
This performance is supported by Reliance Foundation.
