Sing and swing with siblings

It all started in a living room, where a brother and sister would casually jam along with their father, surrounded by warmth, music and the occasional sibling squabble.

Fast forward to today, and that same duo: Raghav Agarwal and Prachi Agarwal are performing to packed venues across the country with a concept called 'baithak' that is as unfiltered and heartfelt just as their bond.

And now, they're bringing that exact vibe to Hyderabad with a special jamming session at AirLive, Jubilee Hills, on July 6 from 5 pm onwards.

The brother-sister duo chats with CE about their journey, Hyderabad, favourite songs and more.

"Hyderabad has been home for two years while I worked at DE Shaw India Private Limited, and now for the first time, I'll be on the other side of AirLive.

We used to party there and now we're performing, so we're super excited.

The city's energy and jamming vibe feel perfect," says Raghav, his voice tinged with nostalgia.

Their sessions are nothing like conventional concerts.

There's no stage, no VIP areas, no divide between artist and audience.

"There is just one rule we follow during our jamming sessions and that is there is no stage at all.

It is a jamming session by the people and for the people.

You can expect pure play Bollywood, pure play jamming songs, high energy music with no defined set playlist.

From Lag Jaa Gale to Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai, it is all about what people feel like singing together at the moment.

It is never a set stage performance but something spontaneous, like Give Me Some Sunshine or Luka Chuppi, making it an experience Hyderabad has never seen before," explains Raghav.
