Singer-composer Shankar Mahadevan, who will perform a live radio concert, finds it an interesting concept.

His concert will be broadcast live on Radio City as part of "Gig City Season 2" on Friday.

"A live radio concert is a trend-setting concept. Performing live for an audience of 5.25 crore is an unheard of feat. I have sung in studios, live and even impromptu, but the idea of 'Aap Jahan Concert Wahan' (Concert is wherever you go) is amazing," Shankar said in a statement.

As part of the performance, Shankar of the Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy group will render folk songs that represent India.

He describes it as My Country My Music - India's first world music folk act, and the songs have been hand-picked by him especially for Radio City's listeners.
