Ramnarine to clash with Narayan

The band Dil-E-Nadan, led by the singing sensation Raymond Ramnarine, has been been at the forefront in delivering the best of Bollywood here in TT.

Songs such as Jag Ghoomeya Na Koyi, Tere Saang Yara, Oh Zalima, Udi Udi Jaaye, Barish, Ek Vari Yaa’r and Raabta and Koun Tujhe are the most requested and Raymond delivers them with style.

Hence the reason promoters Missy and ‘R’ contracted Ramnarine and Dil-E-Nadan for their Father’s Day concert. Ramnarine will share the stage with India’s Udit Narayan and his son Aditya Narayan.

Missy Lagan and her husband Rodney Bickram are making their dream a reality by putting Udit and Ramnarine on stage together for the event.

“The people of this country who follow these singing stars will be thrilled with their mix of music for this show,” Lagan said.

They will both be doing songs that have dominated the charts this year and those that ruled the 70s and 80s, she said. The artistes will perform the hits songs Aaj Mausam Hai Baraa, Chand Mera Dil, Baharon Phool, Yeh Reshmi Zulfein, Jo Wada Kiya Woh, Khush Rahe Tu Sada and Yeh Duniya Yeh Mehfil, Lagan said.

The Narayans who are known for bringing the best in romantic numbers to the silver screen will be clashing with Ramnarine and Dil-E-Nadan. They will perform current songs as well as those of yesteryear that remain in demand wherever Bollywood films are shown.

Udit is known for singing one of the most popular songs from Bollywood, Mehndi Lagake Rakhna, from the movie Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. His songs are played everyday on the five East Indian frequencies in TT . He has a huge following here and in the Caribbean. He also sang the mega hit songs, Oh I Love You Daddy with his son Aditya, from the film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. He sang the popular songs Pardesi Pardesi from the films Raja Hindustani, Main Yahan Hoo and Aisa Des Hai Mera.

Bollywood’s Shahrukh Khan has been portraying Udit songs in the movies, Darr, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dil To Pagal Hai, Mohabbatein, Swades and Veer Zaara. Aditya has also established himself as the voice of child artistes in Hindi movies and acted in hit movies like Pardes, Rangeela and Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai. His role as as a son of actor Salman Khan in the movie Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hai was widely acclaimed. However, Aditya has grown up and had taken a break from Bollywood since 2001, on account of his changing voice. He’s now back on the scene and is currently hosting Sare Gama Challenge 2008. Ramnarine who has captured major awards here for his talent also won an award for Best International Artiste in Holland in 2016.

In 2013 he captured the Chutney Soca Monarch title.

“I am looking forward to singing for this Father’s Day concert with the Narayans,” Ramnarine said. He has been a fan of Udit for many years and cannot wait to get on stage and sing with his idol, he said.
