Faridkot and Aas bagged a chance to compete for the title of ‘India’s best Hindi band’ with their victory at the Delhi regional finals of RC Live, Radio City 91.1 FM’s nationwide talent hunt. Faridkot, a six-member pop band, and Aas, a five-member fusion band, were declared winners after riveting live-wire performances here Friday by the five short listed bands from Delhi, which also included Musafir, Muzoc and Om.
The bands were adjudged by Palash Sen of Euphoria, Subir Malik of Parikrama and professional talent scout Vibhav Rao of EMI. Speaking on the evening’s performances, Sen said: ‘The freshness, the song writing and the music compositions witnessed at the RC Live Delhi regional finals made it very difficult for us to choose the best. But the journey only gets tougher for the finalists now and they need to work much harder to win.’
