Mangeshkar, Amruta Fadnavis, Juhi Chawla, Hariharan, Suresh Wadkar, Usha
Mangeshkar & many others at Reewa’s concert and single launch
“Today,
I am presenting to you a very talented artiste. Her name is Reewa Rathod. She
plays the piano beautifully, sings in multiple languages, also, she composes
music as well. She has all the right talent for music. I hope that you all will
like her and also compliment to her zeal. Reewa, I give you my blessing and I
hope you are successful.” Words from the legendary Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar
presenting Reewa, daughter of the ace classical musical duo - Roop Kumar Rathod
and Sunali Rathod, reverberated her voice in an audio-visual at Deenanath
Mangeshkar Natyagraha.
After
the legendary lyricist Gulzar penned the lyrics to her first single, Maula (One
Above), Reewa is back with her new music video and single. Saanwal, a Saraiki
traditional folk song is craftily blended with verses in Spanish, the music for
which is produced by Tabla Maestro Ustad Zakir Hussain and Michael Mennart. The
chief guests of the exclusive musical evening, Padma Shri Hridaynath Mangeshkar
and the First Lady of Maharashtra Amruta Fadnavis, launched the music video and
the single in presence of Juhi Chawla, musical geniuses Usha Mangeshkar,
Hariharan, Suresh Wadkar, Jatin Pandit, Shravan Rathod, Ismail Darbar, Adinath
Mangeshkar, Master Chef Sanjeev Kapoor and many other dignitaries.
With
Dhrupad exponent Late Pandit Chaturbhuj Rathod as her grandfather, Roop Kumar
Rathod - Sunali Rathod as parents, and singer Vinod Rathod and music director
Shravan Rathod (of Nadeem-Shravan) as uncles, music flows through the Rathod
family veins!
Said
Hridaynath Mangeshkar who is her Guru, “I have taught Sunali and I have heard
Roop, but Reewa has embedded the qualities of the two so beautifully. And she
sings with grace and divinity. I am proud of her.”
In
the current concert presented by Lata Mangeshkar, Reewa presented a bouquet of
songs. Her music launch featured performances including Piano recitals, Thumri,
Tappa, Marathi Bhavgeet, Carnatic, old film classics, English Pop, Punjabi
music among others. That is not all, the budding pianist-vocalist-composer
Reewa also enchanted the audience with her own compositions.
Proud
parents Roop Kumar Rathod and Sunali Rathod averred “We feel blessed knowing
that our little angel Reewa is being presented by the living legend Lata didi,
music produced by Ustad Zakir Hussain and Michael Mennart and her work being
launched by Baba (Hridaynath Mangeshkar), Waheeda ji and the First Lady of
Maharashtra, Amruta Fadnavis."
Said
Reewa, “It is indeed a blessing to be launched by legends. I feel truly
ecstatic.”
