<\/div>\n

\u201cIt is astonishing to see SANAM\u2019s rise to fame over the past few years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we hosted them in SA in 2016 they were sitting on around 650 000 subscribers on YouTube.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

It\u2019s now a staggering 6.1 million subscribers and growing,\u201d said Blu Blood managing director and show promoter, Osman.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very proud to be associated with the band and to bring world-class entertainment to our loyal patrons.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band rose to fame after composing renditions of classic Bollywood hit songs that they had grown up listening to and uploading them to YouTube and they have since recorded and performed songs in Hindi, English, Spanish and Gurarati, including the likes of Main Hoon which was featured in the Hollywood blockbuster, The Amazing Spiderman 2<\/em> and which received rave reviews across its multi-language theatre release in India.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were never in it for the fame or where this would take us.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted a place to share our videos with our friends and the industry and to revive these songs that we had such a special connection to and bridge the gap between these songs and today\u2019s generations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t have enough money to hire professional teams to shoot and edit our videos so we learnt how to do it ourselves,\u201d said frontman Sanam Puri, who shares the limelight with Samar Puri (lead guitar, vocals), Venky S (bass) and Keshav Dhanrai (drums).<\/p>\n

The band has released five albums to date and other original singles, many of which have enjoyed number one spots on IndiPop charts and trending playlists.<\/p>\n

The event is brought to the stage by Blu Blood, in association with Tilley Doors, IBV Gold and Burger King.<\/p>\n
