MOJO Projects is back with yet another concert, and this time it will be a walk down memory lane for fans of SP Balasubrahmanyam. Called Meendum SPB (Once Again SPB), it is the fourth concert in the highly-rated MOJO Concert Series.
The concert series, which strives to improve the experience for concertgoers in a more intimate environment while bringing people together to completely immerse themselves in their favourite music, will be held at Zepp Kuala Lumpur.
The Meendum SPB Concert, which follows the thrilling MOJO Live Jam Concert in July, will showcase hits of the great SP Balasubrahmanyam or SPB as he is more commonly known as.
A talented group of artists, including SP Charan, Mano, Anuradha Sriram, and Srinisha, who are all recognised for their musical ability and soulful vocals, will bring these songs to life.
