Musical Programmes

Vikramjit expands his horizon in his spiritual quest and gives expression to his gifted voice as an eminent exponent of Sufi Music. His renditions that had long been available to select audience for private listening, now find a way with the masses. Some of his music albums, songs and other musical programmes are listed hereunder:

Tere Ishq Nachaya:

The debut album of Vikramjit ‘Tere Ishq Nachaya’ stands out in plethora of music albums for more than one reason. It has a fragrance of Punjab’s heritage with contemporary music and enchanting videos. Largely related to heritage of Punjab, it has been contemporised to relate to youth with equal penchant. Artful rendition of soulful lyrics by Vikramjit, through his melodious voice, truly reflects the flavor of the soil. The enchanting verses were conceived by renowned poets and contemporary writers like Bulleh Shah, Waris Shah, Shah Hussain and Shiv Batalavi. This captivating album has been credited with India’s top 5 for several months not only in India but also in U.K., U.S. Canada etc.

SHERA:

“Launching the song Shera is an expression of my patriotism as an Indian. It is a time for all of us to play a part. India is a land of promise and passion. Let’s unite and make the Commonwealth Games 2010, Delhi a success.“
-Vikramjit Sahney

It was a proud moment for the Nation and Sun Foundation when the song ‘Shera’ was launched by Dr. M.S. Gill, Hon’ble Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports at a glittering ceremony in Hotel Taj Palace, New Delhi on September 9, 2010, in the week preceding Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi.

Shera – the mascot, symbolised the face of the Delhi 2010, energising the city and exhorting everyone to ‘come out and play’ and make the Commonwealth Games 2010 a grand success. Shera was chosen a mascot as a significant reminder of the depleting numbers of his species and the fragile environment he lives in and our responsibility towards the protection of his race and his ecosystem.

The song ‘Shera’ was conceived and produced by Vikramjit in his attempt at drawing concern for environment and healthy games. The song reflects the values Shera stands for. He is an achiever, a global citizen, justifiably proud of his nation’s ancient heritage, a fierce competitor with integrity and honesty. It has the energy and power to generate a healthy spirit of competition and enthusiasm among the masses, especially the youth.

The song has been sung in Hindi and English by Vikramjit, Shibani Kashyap and Millind. It reflects the spirit of Shera, representing majesty, power, charisma and grace. This song has the distinction of live performance by Vikramjit and his team at the opening ceremony of Commonwealth Games 2010 where it generated tremendous amount of excitement in the masses while it urged everyone to join in with healthy spirit of the Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi.

“Patriotism is an emotion and attitude,” passionately emphasized Vikramjit Sahney. “It’s a sense of belonging. It is a time for all of us to play a part,” he added. “India is a land of promise and passion. Let’s unite once again and make the Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi a success.”

The song produced and presented to Organising Committee Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi by Sun Foundation, a charitable institution.

Delhi International Art Festival: Vikramjit and Hans Raj Hans

Exhilarating Sufi music filled the atmosphere at Amphitheatre, Hotel Ashok, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi in October 2009.

“In the present times, when the world is mostly conscious and collaborating at political, economic, and social levels, it is imperative that the glorious Sufi tradition, which flourished for centuries and transformed the cultural fabric with its positive, humanistic message, is recalled, celebrated and emulated.“

“It is ironical that in this world of knowledge boom, we rarely find the knowledge that illuminates our inner spaces and leads us to have peace and integration within, with ourselves and others.“
