CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Under a velvet sky strewn with stars, music and mysticism entwined at Bonne Foi 65 in East of Kailash, where celebrated Sufi songstress Heer Walia delivered a transcendent live performance that left Delhi breathless.
The rooftop oasis, already renowned for its chic ambiance and gourmet offerings, transformed into a sanctum of sound and spirit this past Saturday night. As the city’s skyline shimmered in the distance, Walia’s haunting vocals soared above the din of daily life, weaving together the poetry of Bulleh Shah, the ecstasy of Amir Khusrau, and her own hypnotic interpretations of folk traditions passed down through generations.
Every verse was a prayer, every note a thread in a rich tapestry of emotion that held the audience captive. From her first breath to the final chord, Walia didn’t just perform—she invoked. The crowd—an eclectic mix of date-night duos, music connoisseurs, curious foodies, and spiritual seekers—sat spellbound, swaying in rhythm, many mouthing lyrics, some with closed eyes and hearts wide open.
“I came for dinner and stayed for divinity,” said Ananya Mehta, echoing the sentiments of many who left the evening transformed. “It felt less like a concert and more like a communion.”
The venue rose to the occasion with grace. Dimmed, golden lighting cast a warm glow across elegant tables adorned with Mediterranean platters, Indian-fusion masterpieces, and desserts decadent enough to tempt the most disciplined. Signature cocktails—infused with herbs, spices, and a touch of alchemy—flowed as effortlessly as the music.
