The Guyana National Stadium is the place to be on October 14 when the reigning playback queen of Bollywood, Shreya Ghoshal and her troupe take to the stage at Diwali Utsav, hosted by the Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha.
Alongside the talented and gorgeous Ghoshal will be rising stars Prithvi Gandharv and Jeffrey Iqbal. This is the first activity of the month-long celebration of Diwali hosted by the Sabha this year.
Iqbal got his break when the Academy Award and Grammy Award winning music director of “Slum Dog Millionaire”, AR Rahman, chose him to perform on his tour in New York City in 2007. He later represented the USA on Zee TV’s popular show “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa”. Iqbal is known for his energetic and dynamite performances.
Ghoshal comes to Guyana at a time when her career is at its peak. She has had back-to-back hits like “Ooh la la Ooh la la” from the “Dirty Picture”; “ChikniChameli” from “Agneepath”; and “Teri Meri” from “Bodyguard”.
Also performing at the event will be the sabha’s dance troupe, the Dharmic Nritya Sangh just out of an amazing Naya Zamana, and some of Guyana’s top singers. Sound and lighting technicians are part of Ghoshal’s troupe and will help to ensure a truly spectacular concert. The concert starts at 18:30h.
The public is advised to get their tickets very early as they would not want to miss this spectacular event. VIP reserved seating tickets cost $5000 and general seating, $2500.
