A unique Multicultural Extravaganza of Song and Dance put together by Mark Pinto de Menezes (Nasha Entertainment Ltd) and managed by CFI Events. This concept of blending the Indo Kiwi communities came about when Mark invited his kiwi drum students to participate with his Bollywood Band Nasha at the Auckland Council Diwali event last October. The students thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the audience loved this too. So Mark decided to take this a step further, involving a number of talented kiwi and Indian performers to get on stage together (FOR THE FIRST TIME!!) and share their talents using Bollywood Hit songs with Iconic Kiwi and Western Pop tunes. The interest from all performers to be a part of this was overwhelming. The Concert event will feature Shore Based band Nasha, Garagewalas, X Lake and Khottey Sikkey Dance Teams, ' The Damsels of Dhoom', The WSS Orchestra, Rachit Bhatia, Ritika Badakere, Leon Ruwhiu, Bronte Pierson & Steven Winn and numerous other performers from Papakura in the South to Orewa up in the North.
This is a FIRST ever, Family based community event focused on integrating the two communities via music and dance. It will be held at Avondale College Theatre, 51 Victor Street (7.00Pm onwards) a location central for audiences in the South, the CBD and from the Shore. There will be food and drink available and the Concert hopes to generate a Festive atmosphere, a great evening of entertainment on the long Queen's Birthday weekend. The concert also hopes to lend a hand, generating funds to support KIDSCAN Charitable Trust for disadvantaged kiwi children.
This event has NO FUNDING at the moment, but the team has decided to go ahead anyway, with the enthusiasm and momentum it's achieved. Mark is still looking for corporate support and/or sponsorships to cover all the production costs.
