Nitin Bali once again proved in Kuwait that he is a unique singer who can sing the songs of different singers from oldies to latest. After the super hit programs ‘Sunidhi Chauhan Concert’, ‘Mika Singh Live’ and ‘Arijit Singh Live in Concert - Tum Hi Ho’, Prashanth D’Souza, president of Creative Indian Association and a veteran in organizing events in Kuwait joined hands with Rohit G Mirchandani, MD of Raja Company to bring a charity event ‘Golden Voice of Nitin Bali- Dil Se’ a labor of love dedicated to the flood affected people of Jammu and Kashmir on Friday, 30 January 2015 at the Indian Embassy Auditorium.
The evening was a musical journey with yesteryear classics and modern day melodies, featuring songs of Kishore Kumar, Mohammed Rafi, Shailendtra, Hemanth Kumar, Anand Raj Anand, Sonu Nigam, Arijit Singh and many more. The program started with the National Anthem of Kuwait and India followed by introduction by compere of the evening Nita Bhatkar. Without any delay Nitin Bali entered the stage with Kishore kumar hit " dil kya kare jab kisi ko" followed by nonstop hits like " oh mere dil ke chain", " dilbar mere kab tak", " oh manchali kahan chali", " tere bina bhi kya jeena", "rim jhim gire sawan". The audience was overjoyed when he sung his own song "nile nile ambar par" which made him popular in Bollywood as well as the remixed version.
