"Dhroeh
Nankoe is a virtuoso as Indian solmisation concerns, the singing on the
names of the notes. Very rapidly the names of the notes are sung''
"Nankoe
is performing outstanding at several concerts at the Amsterdam India
Festival. Like Nitin Sawhney, he is a singer and a very versatile multi
instrumentalist. Both musicians create musical bridges and they embrace
East and West in a beautiful way"
"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. Result was a stunning performance wonderful to
watch and listen to.
“However,
the most interesting east-west fusion in this concert with the famous
Dutch band Bløf, who got the audience on a high, was the musical
persona of guest vocalist Dhroeh Nankoe. He was instrumental on this
occasion in bringing the musicians of Holland and India together. He
sang his own lilting compositions in Hindi on the harmonium. By a joyous,
lively piece the viewers were virtually dancing on their seats...” “…And
how well different cultures integrate, show the Indian Dhroeh Nankoe
and Willeke Alberti from Amsterdam in the Stadsschouwburg at the Boekenbal…
Everybody is listening…” “…The
highlight of the evening was the short performance of Dhroeh Nankoe.
He sung, amongst other styles, in an old Persian singing style which
is practised by only a few other singers in the world and he has a very
flexible and warm voice” “…The
program consists of many music treasures, which are uplifted by the
superb singing qualities of Dhroeh. Together with his harmonium, Dhroeh
knows how to set the right melancholic atmosphere in a song” “…No
wonder that people were touched, when guitar player Fernando Lameirinhas
and singer Dhroeh Nankoe switched in their duet from their own language
intp Dutch ‘Please hold me now, you know I cannot live without
your embrace” “…Dhroeh
Nankoe has lots of success with playing techno music at the Love Parade
in Berlin. More than ten thousands of people were dancing at his music;
Nankoe is a splendid allround musician” “…Highlight
of the performance of the Chamber Choir of Rotterdam with the Dhroeh
Nankoe Ensemble was the moment the choir and ensemble sung together
on raga sarang composed music of Dhroeh Nankoe… Dhroeh also sung
one of his compositions, a beautiful devotional song in which the modest
low tones reminded of Tibetan singing.” “…Astonishing
is the music of Dhroeh Nankoe: he has the gifts of a cameleon, because
here he adapts himself to drum and bass and goa trance”. |
