from MUMBAI:
I love their mash of Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” and Jodh Akbar’s “Jashn-e-Bahara”. This was the first song that I heard, and I knew I had fallen in love with their sound. I listened to this song on loop for days, stalked the band mates on facebook. This song has become an anthem for sleepover with my besties.

So please please please get me the free tickets.

I love ‘Distant Places’. The video and the sync relates n connects back to relive memories. I would love to see them perform in bengaluru.
Sunny Walia

Penn Masala are an amazing band and I’m a big fan of them. Though they do superbly amazing covers and mashups my favorite song would be a original one and that is

Distant Places.

Kho gayi, par thi, mithi kuch ve yaadein
Reh gaye, haan ve, bachpan ke ve vaadein
Nikle, hum bhi, nainon mein liye sapne
Bhatke, path se, yaad aayein ab apne

I think these lines are so universal in their appeal, I’m mean think about it they would so apply to all of journeys right?
:)

Just amazing.

PS – I’m from Pune :)

And the video adds to the awesomeness!
Flawless music and cute members…its a whole package!
Penn Masala redefine music!

Has to be “Tujhe Dekha Toh/Yellow”. Although it’s an old track it appealed to me like no other ! The transition from one song to another is seamless !! The song is perfect because DDLJ is a movie we have all grown up loving, and well, nothing needs to be said about Coldplay !! I actually want it sung at my wedding, whenever that happens haha ! But, If nothing could you please put in a request that they play this during the Mumbai concert, please ?

Setu Shah, Mumbai.

I’m absolutely in love with Layla O Laila. It’s a beautiful mash-up of two of my favourite songs! Pehchaan & Awaaz are beautiful albums. Really hoping to win tickets and seeing them perform live! :D

Greetings from aamchi Mumbai!
Nikhita Kumar

The combo of two songs Viva-la-vida and Jashn-e-Bahara is my favourite :) I m in love with harshil shukla’a voice in jashn-e-bahara,simply beautiful.I m really hoping to win tickets and see them perform live. And i really wish that I get to hear penn masala sing in bollywood in near future!!My city is PUNE.
Manoj

I just love Viva la vida /Jashne bahara song. What an amazing fusion and composition. They could have chosen any song to use with Viva la vida, but our Capella Champs chose Jashne bahara which shows the kind of knowledge they have about music.. One of the all time favorities… luv u guys..

‘Kal ka Sapna’ from Hyderabad

Has to be Distant Places from their original composition….Covers, its difficult to choose one between She will be loved/O re piya & Jashn-e-bahara/Viva la vida…Also like their rendition of Maa tujhe salam.

–From Mumbai.

I love Penn Masala’s Aankhon mein tu hai. And Because of You/Tu hi Meri Shab Hai. I also love their songs Aadat/Apologize, Jashn-e-bahaara and Yeh Hosla…..I was fortunate to have attend their last live performance at Hard Rock Cafe New Delhi. My association with Penn Masala is right from 1999 from the days of Chamak Challo and Yeh Dillagi….I was fortunate to have attended their live performance at Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey where I studied for a bit – their performance was flawless and totally mesmerizing! I am now married with a kid and I would love to get free tickets for the New Delhi performance on January 11th, so that I can introduce my family to the music which touches my soul – Penn Masala zindabad! My number is +919910236645.

Hey Malini,

Big Penn Masala fan here. Bit hard to pick one favourite but I’d say the Chaiya Chaiya song…

Missed seeing them perform live in Phila some years ago and then again on their India tour as I was in the UK then… so it’d be great if you pick me a winner.

Thanks in advance…

Cheers!

“Distant places” and “Aankhon mein tu hai”….

Every single note in “distant places” pulls at your heart strings… oooh i love their voices and the lyrics just seems so right whether the hindi or the english words. It’s just the perfect song to sing along to :)

And aankhon mein tu hai just makes me melt…
Nikesh

One of my fav after Arjun. Penn Masala is super freaking awesome with blend of Fix You / Ishq Bina & Viva La Vida / Jashn-e-Bahara. It really sounds like Coldplay playing fusion. Amazingly amazing they are. #Respect!

Hi!
I am from Delhi!

A few days back only I heard Penn Masala for the first time, their original Distant Places. Just Loved it! And now I am in love with them (Viva La Vida/Jashn e Bahara and Aadat/apologize being my favorite)
They are so talented. I love their concept. I would just love to see them perform live!!
Dheer Bhatnagar

My favourite work, if I have to choose just one, is the one with Viva-la-vida and Jashn-e-Bahara, just loved the way the beats build up in that song, and the way you guys shift from one to the other without making it seem abrupt at all!

I have never heard you guys live, I’m a student from Bangalore, and I’m not likely to hear you guys live (given the ticket costs). But if this ticket comes my way, I assure you, I will come from wherever I am at that point, and sing along, for EVERY single song you guys perform.

Here’s wishing you guys a great tour ahead! Fingers crossed!
Anshula

This is a difficult one, but I absolutely love Viva la Vida/Jashn-e-Bahara! :D I also love Aap Jaisa Koi and Down/Desi Girl, oh and yeah, Chaiyya Chaiyya! :)

Hi there,

I’ve been listening to Penn Masala from a long time now and I was even keen on having them over to visit our B-school so that they could perform in 2010, but their tour did not coincide with our college festival.

It is fantastic that we have a chance to see them live again – I really like their track, “Distant Places” from their album, On Detours.

I’m from Bangalore and would love to see them live!

Bharat humko jaan se pyaara hai! This is a song every Indian will love and with vocal instrumental effects and heavenly voices, it gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. Their music has already made an Impact and the world knows it. The concept of One World without boundaries through originals, re creations of South Asian and Western songs is really addictive and bonding can be seen with the people hearing this genre. Looking forward welcoming them in Mumbai and their new album in 2013.
