MUMBAI: In a first of its kind project ever in India, internationally known singer, songwriter, music composer and Telugu rock artist ‘Alluri’ is bringing together a collaborative live Telugu rock music concert in Gachibowli indoor stadium, Hyderabad on 18 August 2018.
The concert, in partnership with Italian musicians Paolo Raineri- Trumpet, Roberto Dragonetti- Bass, Davide Arzuffi – Drums, Pietro Ubaldi – Keyboard, Alluri – Vocals/ Elec Gtr, along with two musicians from Hyderabad Ranga – Flute, Murli – Tabla, is a groundbreaking venture that will be a congregation of the very best talent which will enable a new generation of fans to see, hear, and feel Alluri International Telugu Rock Music in a way previously unimagined.
“So really excited and looking forward to playing at Gachibowli Indoor Stadium. I will be playing 12 songs from my album O Katha: Tales of This Telugu Man. I had written this album three years ago when I was suffering from an identity crisis after having exclusively written songs only in English. I have played these songs in England, France and Estonia. So singing these songs in Hyderabad finally is an absolute thrill. There will be some old Telugu covers too. Also an exciting local talent will be opening the show. So it is going to be a uniquely exciting night and I believe nobody in Hyderabad should miss it”, says Shriram Alluri.
