Who does not know the (somehow) ever-lasting appeal of rap and pop artist Baba Sehgal? Sometimes all you need to know about the man is that his upcoming tour is no-nonsense and even has posters that look like he is a Looney Toons character. Best known for hits such as ‘Thanda Thanda Paani’ back in the early 1990s, Sehgal was one of the first artists to rap on a mainstream level in India.

Unlike a lot of the gritty hip-hop that is out there today, though, Sehgal is much more wholesome and comedic in his intent. A statement for the event says, “He propagates the goodness of life in his music. He extends himself truthfully to his viewers and listeners without holding back. That’s what makes him loved. The tour will see him perform new remixes of his hits along with new content which has not been released yet.”
