'Singer Dhroeh Nankoe divided the day in eight pieces, like Indians  do. With musicians from India, a VJ, rapper, and two dancers he created a beautiful atmosphere. The result was a stunning performance wonderful to watch and listen to. Tones and melodies of a raga invoke the right mood related to that particular part of the day. The singer guarantees to set the right mood'
