South Indian singer KS Chithra to perform live in Dubai

On Christmas Eve, National Award-winning Indian singer and UAE golden visa holder KS Chithra will spread festive cheer with a live concert at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

Her first show after the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, titled ‘Musically Yours: A Timeless Tribute to Timeless Melodies’, will be a tribute to Indian legends including Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, KJ Yesudas, late singer SP Balasubramaniam, Illayaraja and AR Rahman. The show, which will see her belting out their famous classics, will also weave in her own hits including ‘Kehna Hi Kya’ (from ‘Bombay’) and ‘Yeh Haseen Vaadiyan’ (from ‘Roja’).

“As I am doing a tribute to all my beloved legends, I want to make sure that I should not spoil their songs ... It’s going to be a lot of hard work because practice, practice, practice is the only key,” said KS Chithra.

KS Chithra, who hails from Kerala, India, has sung over 25,000 songs in a span of nearly four decades. Having begun her singing career in Malayalam, Chithra, also dubbed as the ‘Nightingale of Kerala’ for her supremely sweet and melodic voice, soon gained popularity and was cast for almost every soundtrack in the industry.

Chithra was recently awarded the UAE Golden visa as well. She said, “Firstly, I am so pleased, honoured and privileged to receive the Golden visa from Lieutenant General Mohammed Ahmed Al Marri, director-general of GDRFA, Dubai.”
