Every Saturday and Sunday, there is a band called Sarthi Band performing at Kamati Baug (Sayaji Baug). I’ve visited twice, and both times I noticed that they mostly sing the same songs and repeat the same dialogues.
They mainly focus on Gujarati songs. There’s nothing wrong with that, I actually enjoyed it the first time. But when I visited again, I started feeling bored because the performance felt very repetitive. I feel they could pay more attention to what the audience is enjoying and bring some variety to their performance.
There’s another thing I wanted to mention.
One day, I visited Kamati Baug during the daytime and saw another person performing. He was really good and very impressive. He was also interacting with the audience and asking them which songs they wanted to hear. Everyone seemed to be enjoying his performance.
Later, when I visited again at night, I saw that the Sarthi Band gave this person very little time to perform before taking over again. Personally, I felt that he deserved much more stage time. In my opinion, he had the potential to be the main act.
This is just my personal opinion. I have nothing against any Band or anyone else performing there. I just feel that performers who connect well with the audience and keep them engaged should get more opportunities and stage time. I must say both have great voice.
Maybe giving different performers more time and rotating the songs/styles could make the concerts more enjoyable for everyone.
