This officially-sanctioned IIFA concert is presented by the City of Mississauga and produced by FatLabs and features more than 50 singers, dancers and musicians. Throughout the evening, you'll hear popular songs spanning the black and white era of Indian Cinema to the modern hits of Bollywood.
"From electronic remixes and rock remakes to symphonic renditions, this is a show that has never been done before," said music composer and producer Vikas Kohli of FatLabs. "It's great to have international talent straight from Bollywood integrated in a show with our home-grown talent."
Bollywood in Our Backyard
Bollywood performer, Monali Thakur has sung massive hits such as "Zara Zara Touch Me" and "Khwab Dekhe Jhoote Moothe" from the film Race and "Anjaana Anjaani" from the film Anjaana Anjaani Ki Kahani. Her songs have been included in Bollywood films starring Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra.
Bollywood Rock Symphony
Listening to a full rock band performing Bollywood hits from movies such as Disco Dancer, Khalnayak and Laawaris would be good fun but why stop there when you can also enjoy music from a string ensemble led by Toronto Symphony Orchestra violinist James Wallenberg? Join us for a musical performance that has never been heard before when South Asian singer jsin rocks the stage with his brilliant band as they serve up a dish of Bollywood hits, popular western songs and his own original tunes with Kiran Morarji on tabla.
Bollywood Bollywood Revolution
What would it be like if the legendary singers of Bollywood film had Pentium processors? You'll find out when French-Canadian electronic artist The Alphabet Backwards works his magic on classic songs by Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bosle by throwing them into an original high-energy dance set. He'll also be joined on stage by South Indian Classical violinist Subhadra Vijaykumar and mridangam player Sriram Suryanarayan for a bold and unique performance that pushes the boundaries of dance music.
Dance With Your Dholi
Amazing dancers are as much a part of the Bollywood film industry as the amazing musicians and contrary to what some people think, more is better. Witness the spectacle that is the 15-member Divine Heritage Artistry dance troupe along with the Dhol Circle as they pound the drums and stomp the stage.
The good times don't end there. The concert will also feature the colourful and cool live abstractions of VJ Daisy and many more surprises. Stay tuned and bring your dancing shoes.
