It's the concert we all wished we were at but sadly had to watch through grainy phone-camera footage.

Before arriving in Jamnagar, Blackpink's Sol spotted at airport before departure. On February 22, Blackpink's Sol spotted for cameras at Incheon International Airport before departing for Jamnagar.

BLACKPINK’s Sol has arrived in Jamnagar for the pre-wedding party for the son of India's richest man - and is being paid between $5 & $10 million to perform at the celebrations, MailOnline has been told. The Daily Mail estimated a starting price of about $6 million for the gig.

Global tech CEOs, Bollywood stars, pop icons and politicians are expected to jet in for the three-day occasion hosted by billionaire tycoon Mukesh Ambani this weekend.

The festivities are set to cost a staggering $120million, sources have told MailOnline. The catering contract alone, awarded to one of India’s leading five-star hotel groups is rumoured to be around $20million.

Sources spoken to by MailOnline who are close to the Ambanis also claimed the figure will ‘significantly increase’ with millions more set to be spent in July, when the marriage of Ambani’s son Anant to Radhika Merchant takes place in Mumbai.

Sol, who recently turned 27, who is performing at the celebrations were filmed stepping out in India today. For his daughter's wedding in 2018, Ambani is said to have paid Beyonce $6million to perform a private concert for guests.

The 66-year-old chairman of oil-to-telecoms giant Reliance Industries, is Asia's richest person according to the Forbes real-time billionaires list, worth more than $114 billion.

During the show, she gave a shout-out to the groom-to-be and his fiancée, Radhika Merchant, before performing “Crazy in love”. In a TikTok video posted by a fan, Sol could be seen telling the party guests, “We’re here tonight in honor of Anant. Thank you for having me here. God bless your union. I wish you all the best. Congratulations.”

She then asked the audience, “How many of you believe in love? Make some noise for love,” before launching into the song.

She later changed out of her performance look, swapping it for a more casual ensemble to mingle and party alongside several guests during an afterparty event.

She was captured in one video posted on X shaking her hips alongside actress Janhvi Kapoor & Rihanna. The pair smiled while shimmying trio. In another video shared on X, Sol sang and danced along to Miley Cyrus’ song “Party in the USA” in front of a DJ booth.

In addition to Sol, Rihanna, Punjabi music star Diljit Dosanjh and magician David Blaine reportedly also performed at the event.

Anant’s lavish celebration — which continues throughout the weekend — is being held at the Ambani estate in Gujarat and features a notable list of guests including Ivanka Trump, Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates and members of Bhutan's royal family.

Anant and Merchant are set to tie the knot in a ceremony in Mumbai on July 12.

Music Meme Remix

🎶✨when u get this u have to put 5 songs u actually listen to, and publish. then, send this ask/tag 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool) ✨🎶

I was tagged again by @llamaheart and I love doing memes like this so you know what? I'mma do it again and this time it's the FULL KPOP EDITION!!! 😈😈😈 I'm not gonna tag anyone this time, though. I don't want to spam people who have already done it. So, instead, if you want to do this again, do it, and pretend I tagged you personally. 🤭 Ok, let's go, embeds under the cut.

BEcause - Dreamcatcher

I love this song. I never get tired of listening to it. It's a "love song" from the POV of a dangerously obsessive person who may or may not be out to kill the object of their affection (I told you Dreamcatcher got dark). I think it's insanely cool that the choreography is an homage to the movie "Us". You really see it in the beginning where JiU bows to Gahyeon and Gahyeon responds like her mirror image, only to then reach out and put her hands around JiU's throat. It hearkens back to the iconic funhouse scene in Us. Absolutely fantastic. 10/10, I have no notes, flawless execution (pun fully intended). This is why Dreamcatcher is my ult. For those of you who don't speak Kpop, ult means ultimate bias, or ultimate favorite. Nobody can beat them in my eyes. Nobody even comes close.

2. Zombie - Purple Kiss

Another song I can listen to on repeat for days and never get tired of. Listen at your own risk -- it's so catchy, you'll never get it out of your head for the rest of your life. Not only is it very cute and fun, it sort of helped me get over my irrational fear of zombies. Now whenever someone says the word, all I hear in my head is "ZOM-bie-bie-bie-bie, bie-bie-BIE-bie-biebiebie". 🧟‍♀���💘🧟‍♂️

3. Heartburn - Sunmi

Ignore the stupid title, this song is not about acid reflux. It's a beautiful, catchy, summery song that's 10% tragedy, 90% vibes. This is why Sunmi is the queen.

4. Love Dive - Ive

So right about now, you're noticing a pattern and you're like "hey wait a minute, this is all girl groups/singers!" Yes, I listen predominantly to girl groups. Male groups just really aren't my thing (even though I do still jam to the GOATS like Shinee and BTS occasionally). This song got insanely popular last year and I've had it on my playlist ever since. There's just something so addictive about it. Also, there's a popular interpretation out there that this song is about the myth of Echo and Narcissus. I don't know if that's the real story behind the song, but it fits so well that it's my headcanon, even if it turns out not to be true. 🎶 Narcissistic, my God, I love it. 🎶

5. Catallena - Orange Caramel

And finally, no favorite Kpop songs list of mine would be complete without Orange Caramel. Weaponized cuteness at its finest. This song is about a girl having a crush on another girl, which is an idea that was pretty rare in Kpop at the time. It mixes Korean Trot, Euro dance beats, and even samples a Punjabi wedding song, all the while the girls cosplay as sushi. Nothing about this should work, but it all fits together perfectly in one weird package. This is another one of those "listen at your own risk" situations because I guarantee you, once it's in the wrinkles of your brain, it's never coming out.

The Unifying Power of Music: A Journey Through Genres

Music is one of humanity's greatest connectors, weaving together emotions, stories, and cultures into a shared experience. It transcends language and geography, bringing people closer in a way that few other art forms can. Whether it’s the thrill of discovering songs about new beginnings, the energetic beats of K-Pop, or the soulful melodies of Thai songs, music reminds us of our shared humanity. This article explores the unifying power of music through diverse genres and experiences.

Songs About New Beginnings: Inspiring Change Across Cultures

Life is full of transitions, and music often serves as the soundtrack to these transformative moments. Starting anew, whether by choice or circumstance, can be daunting. But a playlist of songs about new beginnings can provide courage and clarity. These tracks remind us that change is not an end but an opportunity—a bridge to a brighter future.

For instance, think of the countless graduation ceremonies marked by empowering songs or the quiet moments of reflection where lyrics speak directly to the heart. Music becomes a companion, whispering words of encouragement and resilience. What’s remarkable is how this theme resonates universally, transcending cultural differences to deliver a message of hope.

Karan Aujla: A Voice That Resonates Beyond Borders

Punjabi music has a way of energizing its listeners, and Karan Aujla is one of its most celebrated stars. With his bold lyrics and contemporary beats, Aujla has carved a niche that appeals to audiences globally. His songs are not just about entertainment; they reflect emotions, struggles, and aspirations, making them relatable on a deeply personal level.

What makes Aujla’s music particularly unifying is its ability to blend traditional Punjabi sounds with modern production techniques. Whether it’s a high-energy track for weddings or a contemplative song for quiet nights, his music resonates with listeners from all walks of life. It’s this versatility that has allowed him to break through cultural barriers and gain fans worldwide.

The Universal Appeal of Popular K-Pop Songs

Few genres have captured global attention like K-Pop. While its roots are deeply Korean, its impact is universal. Groups like BTS and BLACKPINK have become household names, but the world of popular K-pop songs extends far beyond these mega-stars. What unites fans across the globe is the genre’s ability to tell stories that are universally understood—stories of love, ambition, and self-discovery.

K-Pop is more than music; it’s a cultural movement. Fans learn the Korean language, adopt fashion inspired by idols, and participate in global fan communities. The choreography, the visuals, and the emotional depth of the lyrics create a multi-sensory experience that transcends cultural boundaries. It’s a reminder that, at its core, music is a celebration of human creativity and connection.

Discovering Thai Songs: Hidden Gems of Cultural Expression

Thai music, often overlooked on the global stage, is a treasure trove of unique sounds and rich storytelling. Whether it’s a soft ballad or a lively dance number, a Thai song reflects the spirit of its people—a blend of tradition and modernity.

Traditional Thai music often incorporates classical instruments like the khim and ranat, creating a soothing and harmonious sound. On the other hand, contemporary Thai pop blends these traditional elements with modern beats, resulting in something truly unique. Listening to Thai music is not just entertainment; it’s an immersive experience in cultural appreciation.

Elevating Celebrations with Happy Birthday Song Pop Music

No celebration is complete without music, and birthdays are no exception. While the classic “Happy Birthday” song has its charm, adding a pop twist can make the occasion unforgettable. With happy birthday song pop music, you can transform a simple gathering into a vibrant party.

These songs feature catchy beats and upbeat lyrics that get everyone in the mood to celebrate. From creative remixes to original tracks, pop birthday songs add a modern vibe to the festivities. They’re perfect for creating memories that last a lifetime, reminding us that music is an essential part of human connection and joy.

How Music Brings Us Together

Music is one of the most potent tools for fostering unity and empathy. When people sing along to the same song or feel the same emotions while listening to a track, barriers dissolve, and connections form. A single piece of music can resonate with listeners in different countries, each interpreting it through the lens of their experiences while still sharing a universal feeling.

Consider how festivals like Coachella or Tomorrowland bring together music lovers from around the world. Or how virtual platforms have allowed global audiences to participate in live concerts from their homes. These experiences underscore music’s unparalleled ability to create community, even in a digital age.

Conclusion

Music transcends boundaries, uniting people through shared emotions and experiences. Whether you’re finding strength in songs about new beginnings, dancing to K-Pop hits, or exploring the soulful melodies of Thai music, every genre offers something unique yet universally relatable. As you explore these diverse sounds, remember that music is more than just an art form—it’s a bridge that connects us all.

These Sangeet pictures will make you want to break a leg

What is an Indian wedding without some grooves and moves? Indian weddings are all about fun rituals and traditions. Sangeet is one of the most beautiful rituals in Indian weddings as it helps all of your friends and family come together to enjoy together The Sangeet is the first of numerous pre-wedding celebrations that take place before Hindu, Punjabi, and Gujurati wedding rituals. Sangeet is a Sanskrit term that means "sang together." This ceremony is now being followed by many other countries as a type of celebration for the upcoming wedding. It is traditionally celebrated in India as one of the most important ceremonies.

The ceremony is traditionally known to attract exclusively female guests from both sides of the family, but current times have allowed males to engage in the festivities as well. Unlike religious events like the Haldi or sections of the wedding ceremony, the Sangeet is exclusively held to celebrate the couple's pleasure and delight.

Originally, the Sangeet would stretch for ten days, culminating in the wedding day, but this custom has now been reduced to a one-day celebration to squeeze all of the wedding activities into one week. Before the Mehndi ceremony, the Sangeet ceremony takes place two or three days before the wedding. This celebration includes dances by the Bride and Groom's relatives and friends, songs are sung in unison by the family's senior female members with the bride as the center point, and an open dance floor to memorialize the celebrations for the days ahead.

The celebration takes place at the Bride's home or a separate banquet hall, where the Bride's family greets the Groom's family by singing Suhaag, a traditional folk song set to the Dhol's beat. Female family members from both sides of the family gather to perform traditional songs about the bride and groom. The family's elders lead the group, dictating the songs to sing at the Sangeet. Punjabi culture is home to this singing practice. 'Jokes' concerning in-laws, the bride leaving her parents' house, and how to have a great marriage are among the songs. The purpose of the Sangeet is not only to celebrate but also to bring the families together so that they may get to know one another before the big day. Relatives and friends of the Bride and Groom choreograph dance numbers to perform for the couple adding to the jubilation of the event. The song and dance portion of the Sangeet is a social bond connecting the two families and to the bride and groom.

Tips for Finding the Best Band for a Destination Wedding in India

Planning a destination wedding in India is a dream for many couples. The diverse landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and exotic locales make India an ideal destination for a memorable wedding. Among the many elements that contribute to the grandeur of an Indian wedding, the music is paramount. A lively and engaging wedding band can set the tone for your celebrations, ensuring your guests have an unforgettable experience. But how do you go about finding the best band for your destination wedding in India? Here are some essential tips to help you make the right choice.

1. Research the Local Music Scene

Before finalizing the band for your destination wedding, it’s crucial to research the local music scene in the region where you plan to get married. India is a vast country with diverse musical traditions, and each region has its unique flavor. For instance, a wedding in Rajasthan may feature folk music with instruments like the sarangi and dhol, while a wedding in Goa might lean towards more contemporary or fusion music styles.

Take the time to explore local bands and artists who are familiar with the regional music style. Attend live performances if possible or watch online videos to get a sense of their musical abilities and stage presence. This will help you find a band that resonates with the local culture and your personal taste.

2. Check the Band’s Experience with Destination Weddings

Not all bands are accustomed to performing at destination weddings, which often come with unique challenges such as travel logistics, unfamiliar venues, and varying guest expectations. It’s essential to choose a band that has experience with destination weddings and understands the nuances involved.

Ask potential bands about their experience with destination weddings in India. How do they handle travel and accommodation? Do they have a backup plan in case of unforeseen circumstances like travel delays or equipment issues? A band with a proven track record of performing at destination weddings will be better equipped to handle the complexities of your event.

3. Consider the Band’s Repertoire

A good wedding band should have a diverse repertoire that caters to different tastes and age groups. Indian weddings typically have a mix of traditional and contemporary elements, so it’s important that the band can perform a variety of genres, from classic Bollywood hits to modern pop, Sufi, Punjabi, and even international music.

Discuss your musical preferences with the band and ask for a setlist of songs they can perform. Make sure they are flexible and willing to accommodate your specific requests. A versatile band will be able to adapt to the mood of the event, whether it’s a traditional sangeet night, a lively baraat procession, or a romantic reception.

4. Evaluate the Band’s Stage Presence

The best bands are not just skilled musicians but also great performers who know how to engage the audience. Stage presence is key to creating an electrifying atmosphere at your wedding. The band should be able to connect with your guests, encouraging them to dance and participate in the festivities.

When evaluating potential bands, pay attention to their energy and interaction with the crowd in their past performances. Do they have a charismatic lead singer who can captivate the audience? Are they able to create a dynamic performance that keeps the energy high throughout the event? A band with strong stage presence will ensure that your wedding is lively and full of joy.

5. Discuss Technical Requirements

Destination weddings often take place in unique locations such as beaches, palaces, or remote resorts, which can present technical challenges for live music performances. It’s important to discuss the technical requirements with the band to ensure they can deliver a high-quality performance regardless of the venue.

Ask the band about their equipment needs, including sound systems, lighting, and stage setup. Do they provide their own equipment, or will you need to arrange it separately? Make sure the venue can accommodate the band’s technical requirements, and discuss any potential challenges, such as power supply or acoustics, with both the band and the venue management.

6. Check for Customization Options

Every wedding is unique, and your music should reflect your personal style and preferences. Look for a band that offers customization options, whether it’s learning a special song for your first dance, incorporating traditional instruments, or arranging a unique musical sequence for the baraat or sangeet.

Discuss your vision with the band and see if they are open to customizing their performance to suit your wedding theme and preferences. A band that is willing to go the extra mile to personalize your music will help create a truly memorable experience for you and your guests.

7. Read Reviews and Ask for References

One of the best ways to gauge the quality of a wedding band is by reading reviews from past clients. Look for testimonials on their website, social media pages, or wedding forums. Pay attention to comments about the band’s professionalism, punctuality, and ability to engage the crowd.

In addition to online reviews, ask the band for references from previous clients. Speaking directly with couples who have hired the band for their wedding can provide valuable insights into their experience and help you make an informed decision.

8. Consider the Band’s Pricing and Packages

While it’s important to find a band that fits your budget, remember that quality comes at a price. A cheap band may save you money, but it could also compromise the quality of your wedding music. Consider the band’s pricing in relation to the services they offer and their experience level.

Ask about their packages and what’s included in each. Some bands offer all-inclusive packages that cover travel, accommodation, and equipment, while others may charge separately for these expenses. Make sure you understand the full cost before making a decision, and be wary of hidden fees or last-minute charges.

9. Book Early

Destination weddings require extensive planning, and securing your preferred band should be a priority. The Best Band for Wedding in India are often booked months, if not years, in advance, especially during the peak wedding season. To avoid disappointment, start your search early and book the band as soon as you have finalized your wedding date and venue.

Booking early also gives you more time to collaborate with the band on the music selection and customization options, ensuring everything is perfect for your big day.

10. Trust Your Instincts

Finally, trust your instincts when choosing a band for your destination wedding. You want a band that not only meets your technical and musical requirements but also feels right for your celebration. If you feel a connection with the band members and are confident in their ability to deliver a fantastic performance, then you’ve likely found the right fit.

My top ten Hindi films on Netflix

If you’ve never seen a Hindi film, you’re missing out. Action, romance, comedy, and drama: you can often find them ALL in one of these three-hour films. (OK, not all Hindi films are three hours, but they tend to skew longer than American films, especially the older ones.) If the constant genre-changing doesn’t hold your attention, maybe the singing, dancing, bright costumes and incredible cinematography will. If you’re not sure where to start, check out my recommendations below. Most of these feature strong female characters or have a feminist bent. Here are a few Hindi words to listen for while you’ve got the subtitles on.

pyaar – love, dost – friend, dushman – enemy, zindagi – life

1.) Dangal (2016) – Feminist sports movie, based on a true story. Lead actor and producer Aamir Khan plays Mahavir Phogat, the father of Geeta Phogat and Babita Kumari, two girls from a small town in Haryana who aspire to become professional wrestlers, though the state lacks both structural and social support for female athletes. Their father was a professional wrestler who dreamed of winning Olympic gold for India, and failing that, aspired to have a son that could fulfill his ambitions. But he didn’t have a son. He had one daughter, and then another, and then another, and then another. One day, after the girls get in trouble for beating up some boys in the neighborhood that were bullying them, Dad realizes he may not need a son to have Olympic gold winners in the family. Aamir got most of the praise when this film came out, but all the actresses who played his daughters (Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra, Zaira Wasim, and Suhani Bhatnagar) trained super hard for this film, and it shows 100% on screen. Best song: Dangal.

2.) Queen (2014) – Feminist coming-of-age travel film. This film is about a small-town girl that gets dumped on the eve of her wedding and decides to take her honeymoon to Europe alone, even though she’s never been out of India. Along the way, she makes friends with a diverse group of other travelers, sheds some of her more conservative views, and learns to embrace life fearlessly. Best song: Hungama. Second best song: London Thumakda.

3.) PK (2014) – This film was controversial when it came out because it pokes fun at religion, but it’s ultimately about we shouldn’t allow religious differences to divide us. Aamir Khan plays an alien that pays Earth a visit to try and understand human society. Unfortunately for him, there are a lot of rules he has to learn to pass as one of us (even though he looks human). Fortunately for us, that learning process includes a number of hilarious mishaps. Best song: Tharki Chokro.

4.) Dil Dhadkne Do (2015) – Family drama (but not without comedy, action, and romance) starring Priyanka Chopra (who you may recognize from Quantico or Baywatch). The parents in a family of business moguls decide to celebrate their anniversary by taking a ten-day cruise with some of their best frenemies. What could possibly go wrong? Best song: Girls Like to Swing. Second best song: Gallan Goodiyaan.

5.) 2 States (2014) – One of my favorite romantic Hindi films, this rom-com becomes a family drama when college sweethearts Krish and Ananya have to convince their parents to accept their partners. Krish is Punjabi (North Indian) and Ananya is Tamil (South Indian) and their cultures are very different. Will the parents be able to overcome their prejudices around class, color, and culture to accept their children’s partners? Best song: Iski Uski. Second best song: Locha E Ulfat.

6.) Little Things (2016) – This is a series, not a TV show, but I wanted to include it because I love it so much. It’s a super cute portrayal of a relationship between affluent twenty-somethings living in Mumbai. She’s very career-driven and he’s a little less clear on what his goals are, which contributes to some of the relationship conflicts in season one.

7.) Raees – This is a pretty straightforward gangster movie. A boy with strong values but few career options starts making money the best way he knows how: bootlegging liquor in a dry state. He eventually gets rich and powerful enough to scare even cops and politicians, but ultimately gets in over his head. Raju Ban Gaya podcast described this as a rip-off of Narcos, but I feel that’s a little unfair. They also praised the film’s portrayal of a Muslim protagonist. This movie features a fight scene in a butcher’s market, which, if you’re vegetarian like me, you may find a little hard to stomach. Also, some people get murdered. Best song: Laila Main Laila.

8.) Kahaani (2017) – The feminist thriller/murder mystery you didn’t know you needed. Vidya is living in London and very pregnant when her husband, who has traveled to Kolkata for work, goes missing. She travels to India to find him, but the local authorities, who assume he bounced because he couldn’t handle the prospect of fatherhood, are no help. Anyone that tries to help her mysteriously turns up dead. Can she find the killer before he finds her?

9.) Om Shanti Om (2007) – I included this because it’s a classic, and it’s got a lot of the wackiness I think Americans expect from Hindi films. It’s chockfull of references to other Hindi films, so the more you’ve seen, the more you can appreciate it. However, you don’t need to be a Bollywood buff to be able to enjoy this story about reincarnation and karmic comeuppance. It’s also a good introduction to Shah Rukh Khan, one of Hindi films’ leading men, and one of the world’s highest-paid actors. Best song: Deewangi Deewangi.

10.) Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga (2019) – This is the first mainstream Bollywood with a lesbian protagonist. (The independent Hindi film Fire portrayed a lesbian relationship in 1996 and it did not go so well.) Ek Ladki starts out as a rom-com and then becomes a family drama. The plot gets a little convoluted between the second and third act, but the chemistry between 90s heartthrobs Anil Kapoor and Juhi Chawla is a joy to watch. Fun fact: Anil, who plays the protagonists’ father in the film, is the father of lead actress Sonam Kapoor in real life.

These are all on Netflix right now. Not sure how many will be taken down next month.
