Toronto is set to experience a musical performance unlike any other. Rogers Centre is welcoming Diljit Dosanjh, one of world's biggest Punjabi superstars. Afua Baah has more. CANADAHALIFAX news Toronto fans set to celebrate Diljit Dosanjh concert by admin 14 يوليو، 2024 written by admin 14 يوليو، 2024 80 CITYnews halifax / By Omni News In a North American tour that has seen months of pulse-pounding Punjabi rhythms from the West Coast to the East, Diljit Dosanjh’s Dil-Luminati tour makes its final curtain call tonight at Toronto’s Rogers Centre. And the fans are ready for it. At Toronto’s Festival of India Saturday, fan Anuj told City News, “I have seen a lot of different DJs playing Punjabi music across the world. This is something very big for all of the fans and I’m pretty sure people will be traveling to see Diljit performing live.” Mississauga resident Rajinder Kaur Malhi has been anticipating tonight’s show for weeks. “My family is very excited to see Diljit, my granddaughter listens to Diljit’s songs every night before sleeping,” she told OMNI’s Jaspreet Pandher. Malhi’s family isn’t the only one who has been preparing for this moment. Try tens of thousands of others. Dosanjh’s tour launched in April to a sold-out crowd of more than 50,000 in Vancouver, most recently wrapping up in Los Angeles before finally touching down in Toronto. The tour has seen fans of all ages line up to witness the charismatic performer on stages across Canada. That includes the Malhi family; in fact, all three generations of the household are planning to attend tonight. Malhi’s daughter-in-law, Gurpreet Kaur told OMNI News that her family purchased tickets as soon as they were released. Her family has been preparing posters for the star all week. And the youngest Dosanjh fan in her house, 11-year-old son Ranjit, is even hoping his concert swagger catches the eye of the superstar, whose shows have been some of the biggest Punjabi concerts outside of India. Tonight, he’ll be emulating the star’s look from the stands. “He (Diljit) is the first person to embrace the Punjabi traditional attire, kurta pyjama with Jordan shoes on the international stage,” says the 11-year-old fan, in awe of his on-stage idol. The generational appetite for Dosanjh could mean more than just music. Dosanjh’s concert comes at a time when Punjabi music’s visibility has never been stronger on an international stage. Aside from the tour, Dosanjh appeared on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in June in traditional Punjabi attire. This past spring, Canada witnessed its first Punjabi Juno Award winner when Karan Aujla took the revered Fan Choice Award. And for some, these moments mark not only musical milestones but a statement solidifying cultural recognition. “He is making Punjabi music recognized all over the world,” said fan Rishi at the Festival of India. “Punjabi music is more regional music and so I am proud that he is making this music shine all over the world.” 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Donald Trump reportedly ‘fine’ after shooting at rally, prosecutor says shooter and attendee dead next post Canadian leaders say democracy must prevail following Trump rally shooting You may also like v 20 سبتمبر، 2024 More pharmacies added to community primary care clinic... 20 سبتمبر، 2024 Head of committee monitoring response to N.S. mass... 19 سبتمبر، 2024 Wednesday’s hot weather breaks 125-year-old record in Halifax... 19 سبتمبر، 2024 Local authors focusing on upcoming literature event in... 19 سبتمبر، 2024 لوغو طلب من الكتلة الكيبيكية إسقاط ترودو لكنها... 19 سبتمبر، 2024 كندا ’’ملعب‘‘ للتدخل الأجنبي وفقاً لنائب كندي 19 سبتمبر، 2024 كندا تمتنع عن التصويت على مشروع قرار يدعو... 19 سبتمبر، 2024 خفض عدد الطلاب الأجانب في كندا بـ10% إضافية 19 سبتمبر، 2024 Canadian Coast Guard crew member lost at sea... 18 سبتمبر، 2024
