The singer enchanted the packed auditorium with his charismatic style. He entertained the enthusiasts of western music with most of his hit songs and also his favourite numbers by other singers. Lou blended electronic tanpura with western guitar perfectly and sang to his favourite tunes of Bob Dylan. The audience went crazy when he started singing George Benson's 'Nothing's gonna change my love for you'.
Indian king of blues, Rudy Wallang performed to his own compositions for half an hour with Tipriti from Shillong.
"This is a night I will never forget. I will keep the memories of watching Lou in the same programme with Rudy Wallang with me always," Arnab, a young guitar player from Guwahati said.
19 students from DJ's school of western music presented Dhruva's favourite number 'Imagine' by John Lennon on the orchestra, making his colleagues emotional.
"We silently heard Dhruva da singing this song all the time. It was very close to his heart. There couldn't have been a better way to start the programme," Partha Goswami, mentor of DJ's school and one of the organizers of the musical evening said.
Joy Barua from Mumbai paid a tribute to Dhruva with Bad Company's song 'Shooting Star". He also entertained the audience with songs from his popular albums 'Tejimala' and 'Aikan Baikan'.
Bands like Voices from Shillong, Girish and The Chronicles from Sikkim, pop singer Sumon Dutta's Moonwind accompanied by her two daughters also performed in the four-hour long concert.
"The event is a proud initiative to cherish the memories of my husband. He is the guiding force behind my mission to popularize western music in Assam," Dhruva's wife Upasana, who is running DJ's school of western music in Guwahati said.
Dhruva's brother Naba Jyoti has revived Dhruva's band 'Friends' once again after the singer's death in February.
