About The Event
Known for her '90s hits, including the Indipop anthem Deewane To Deewane Hain, Shweta Shetty takes on soul, Sufi and Bollywood classics in a spirited live tribute to the voices that inspired her.
Drawing on old-school soul, R&B, Sufi music and classic Bollywood, playback and Indipop singer Shweta Shetty revisits the artists and songs that have shaped her musical journey. ‘Blood, Sweatz and Tears’ brings together her solo performances and collaborations with a new generation of performers, reinterpreting familiar favourites through genre-spanning live arrangements.
A distinctive voice of the 1990s, Shweta is known for hits such as Rukmani Rukmani, Mangta Hai Kya and Tote Tote. The repertoire reaches beyond Bollywood, moving from songs associated with Reshma and Abida Parveen to the soul classics of Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin, alongside the operatic aria Nessun Dorma.
The 13-member ensemble performs under the artistic direction of Yogesh Pradhan, whose credits include collaborations with Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle, as well as a long-standing association with Sonu Nigam. Joining Shweta on stage are vocalists Jacqueen, Shia, Rocky Malhotra and Chaitanya, alongside beatboxer Gaurav D-Cypher, adding a contemporary dimension to this cross-generational musical tribute.
