In a dazzling ceremony at the JW Marriott in Juhu, musical maestro Anup Jalota and his protégé Sumeet Tappoo launched their eagerly-awaited music album, ‘Legacy’. The event marked the culmination of four decades of a profound Guru-Shishya relationship that has transcended borders, genres, and time.
The evening was attended by an illustrious gathering of celebrities and luminaries from the world of music and cinema, including Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia, the Hinduja family, Anuradha Paudwal, and many others.
The album, a symphonic celebration of seven tracks spanning classical, devotional, spiritual, ghazal, Sufi, and geet genres, is a tribute to the enduring power of music and the sacred Guru-Shishya bond.
Anup Jalota reminisced about the origins of his relationship with Sumeet Tappoo, saying, “I’ll never forget my first trip to Fiji, where I met Sumeet’s family. Young Sumeet, a toddler then, attended all my concerts, soaking in the music. I saw in him a spark, a connection that was unmistakable.”
Sumeet Tappoo expressed his heartfelt gratitude, saying, “Meeting Anupji was life-changing. The bond we share is not confined to this lifetime — it feels eternal. This album, ‘Legacy,’ is a reflection of the guidance, love, and inspiration he has given me.”
The album’s tracks exemplify the duo’s unparalleled artistry, with highlights including the classical gem “Chaturang” and the devotional track “Prabhuji Tum Chandan Hum Paani,” enhanced by a live symphony orchestra.
‘Legacy’ is more than an album — it is a timeless celebration of music, devotion, and an unbreakable bond. As Anup Jalota and Sumeet Tappoo bring their opus to the world, they invite listeners to experience a symphony of emotions, a testament to the beauty of tradition and evolution in music.
