Dubbed as the Indian equivalent to One Direction, boy band heartthrobs, SANAM, are heading to the Centre Court at Emperors Palace on August 28 to perform in a must-see concert.
Having taken the Internet by storm, this popular pop-rock group can’t wait to perform in the country. “We’re really looking forward to our first visit to South Africa and we’ve planned a power-packed show,” says Samar Puri.
The band, who rose to fame after composing renditions of Bollywood hit songs and uploading them to YouTube, consists of frontman Sanam Puri, Samar Puri on lead guitar and vocals, Venky S on bass guitar and Keshay Dhanrai on drums.
SANAM’s YouTube channel, featuring both original and cover songs, boasts over 650 000 subscribers with millions of views. With fans affectionately referred to as SANAMians, the Duaa music video, featuring Sanah Moidutty, has enjoyed a staggering 12 million views.
Humble about their fame, the boy band describes their sound as a mix of contemporary pop rock with their distinct blend of Omani and Indian musicians.
Tickets are available from R200 a person and can be booked through Computicket or through the Emperors Palace Box Office on 011 928 1297/1213.
