An innovative tribute to Freddie Mercury

# TG Life


Ever asked yourself  - I want to Break Free?  But then, disappointment sets in and you give up, just becoming Another one who bites the dust? Ever been a rebel in school and found yourself clapping and cheering to We will Rock you? Screaming from the rooftop that - We are the Champions. Nobody listens to the Radio anymore, and yet “ we love Radio Ga Ga. And no matter whether you understand the lyrics or not “ the song of the century is Bohemian Rhapsody. 

All these songs by Freddie and the band Queen will live in all of us forever “ on our phones, in our cars, and in our hearts… But until then, let’s catch the best team putting up the Best of Queen, live on stage. If you could relate to any of the above, then Favela is your place to be this Saturday Night as they are set to pay a special tribute to one of the most infectious performers of all time - Freddie Mercury. 

In a never before show - organized by pioneers of Live Music in Goa, Favela bar and kitchen will be hosting ‘KAPOW!’ a Delhi-based band who has a reputation for carrying out tribute shows for Queen and can truly do justice to Freddie Mercury by putting on a lively show.

A Delhi-based band that paints existing songs anew with their own characteristic outlook on music as they simultaneously use their symbolic and metonymic lyrics to tell untold yet relatable stories with the music filling the emotional colours taking the vibe from a chill, relaxing day at a beach to psychedelia to utter breakdown. All in all, they perform music which can be appreciated by the most diverse of masses, as they maintain the continuity of their characters and their way with the crowd.  Staying true to their name, their songs are littered with unexpected punches. What’s more exciting is the fact that they’ll be doing a Queen tribute in the memory of the legend, Freddie Mercury, at Favela this Saturday at the later’s ladies night named ‘Kinky!’ 

Favela Bar and Kitchen is a live music venue that is frequented by lovers of Live Music during the weekends. A few weeks back, Favela had launched a ladies night that is first-of-its-kind in Goa, when it comes to the conceptualisation. Their ladies night named as ‘Kinky!’ is currently the biggest ladies night in Goa as it happens on a weekend, Saturday in particular.
