News stardom : Kolkata, 14th February 2020: Broadway Hotel has been synonymous to Calcutta’s heritage since its inception in 1937. It has one of the oldest bars in Kolkata that still retains the vintage ‘art deco’ style, reminding us of the colonial influence that is so intricately woven into the culture of this city. Sandeep Sehgal, the owner says, “It is this Europeam style old-world charm coalesced with the multicultural elements of Kolkata that we have tried to preserve.” They wish to take forward Calcuttas’s rich cosmopolitan culture through the music and food at Broadway. TRIDEV’s performance of fusion jazz is yet another example of how Broadway wants to promote musicians of the city. Consisting of Gaurab Chatterjee, Bodhisattwa Ghosh and Mainak Nag Chowdhury, TRIDEV mesmerised the audience with their jazzed up versions of retro-Bollywood numbers.
Gaurab Chatterjee said, “It is always a pleasure to play here. Apart from being a historical venue, we also have a lot of emotion attached to this place. I think it’s great that Broadway is promoting live music because it’s very important for us to be able to play in front of a live audience and we’ve not had many opportunities to do that after the pandemic.”
