Music for soul

Deccan Chronicle  

Whether you are a lifelong fan or a casual listener of soul RnB and jazz, the country’s new favourite repertoire SouldOut has plenty to offer any audience. Including an array of old and new soul music by the likes of Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin, Earth Wine and Fire, Stevie Wonder and Chaka Khan, to name a few, the musicians have a knack for leaving the audience spellbound. Sonia along with her team members — pianist Harmeet Manseta, drummer Vibhaas Rahul, guitarist Sanjeev Aguiar, bassist Kenneth Rebello and key player Rinku Rajput — had recently performed in Mumbai at a musical evening called “A Night of Soul” at NCPA.
