MUMBAI: To brew a night of eclectic and experimental sounds, Suryakant Sawhney better known by his stage name ‘Lifafa’ is debuting in Mumbai on 5 August 2016 at antiSOCIAL, the city’s emerging music venue.
In early 2013, Peter Cat Recording Co. front man Suryakanth Sawhney released his first self-titled album for his solo project ‘Lifafa’ (Urdu for envelope). Suryakant’s music has that wonderful verbalisation, mock-ups from Bollywood, and experimental excellence which create something intriguing. Suryakant Sawhney played at Sound City Festival in Liverpool, The Great Escape in Brighton and he also soundtracked a Pakistani drag queen show in Berlin in May 2016.
According to Suryakanth, he doesn’t have a studio and all his dreamy creations happen on his headphones and laptop. His project under the name of ‘Lifafa’ is more likely an eternally altering idea intended for him.
