ALIMIA CHICKTAY 1995

ALIMIA CHICKTAY
Here’s a beautiful song sung by an artist with an equally beautiful and divine voice. In 1995, we asked Alimia if he would feature on our Television Diwali program with a popular devotional song originally sung by Mohamed Safi. He humbly accepted our request and stunned the South African audiences with his rendition. Although very well known in the music community, South Africans at large were introduced to this amazing artist for the first time on this program. A humble gentleman, loved by his massive fan following and one who never fails to bring the house down with his singing of Mohammed Rafi’s popular songs. Alimia truly represents the best that South Africa has to offer in Indian music. Combined with a great personality and a deep respect for fellow artist and musicians, Alimia has without doubt made a significant mark in the Souh African Indian music industry. He also highlighted the talent that Cape Town had to offer. Chicktay has recorded an original album in India and these songs feature regularly on Lotus fm to this day. The excellent music is provided by Saaz-E-Rang led by Iqbal Samsodien of Cape Town.
