If you love Sona Mohapatra of Bolo Na fame and have been waiting to watch her live in concert, today is the day. There is no need for you to book tickets, because you can watch her perform two brand new songs live, from anywhere in the world all thanks to www.artistaloud.com, a digital platform.
As part of the site's Launch Cast section, the artiste is going to render her two numbers Diljale and Paas Aoo Na from her new album Raat Din.
This being the first time that she will be performing live on the internet, Mohapatra confesses, "Somewhere it is the same whether you are performing 20 feet away from an audience or going live on the net, there is no chance of retakes."
According to Mohapatra, Diljale as a night song describes the pain of lost love and memories while Paas Aao Na is a peppy day song depicting the joy of love. Paas Aao Na has already been used in Kannada, Tamil, Hindi and Telegu as part of a popular toothpaste jingle. But she would be releasing the full song for the first time on artistaloud.com.
Interestingly, you can get a feel of the live performance as the acoustic version of both the songs will be accompanied by the piano and bass guitars in this 30 minutes long webcert.
The site currently houses original music by over a hundred artistes across several genres ranging from Alternative Pop, Fusion, English and Hindi Rock, Bollywood Pop and Classic Indi-Pop in Hindi, English, Punjabi Gujarati and Bengali.
