Munni Begum live in concert in Sharjah on March 29

Renowned Pakistani singer Munni Begum will enthrall the ghazal lovers during her upcoming concert in Sharjah later this month.

Munni Begum will be performing live at Asian Palace on March 29 from 8pm onwards on ‘Invitation Only’ event, said Shad Ali, organiser of the show.

The ghazal recently performed in India and announced that she would be performing live again in India in August.

Ali said a concert is also being planned in Abu Dhabi after the Sharjah event and is looking for sponsors. “She’ll be in town for more than two weeks when she comes back to UAE again, so we intend to have another concert in Abu Dhabi.
