Indian: India and Community

indian: King Mika Singh, one of the biggest names in Indian music industry, will energize the community with his performance during this year's Diwali Festival in October, according to Metro News. If you like to move, if you like to dance, then this is the place to be, said Raminder Walia, one of the organizers of the Indian community in Winnipeg. Long known for the regular concerts featuring Punjabi music which largely originates from northen India the Winnipeg Indian community is set to inject talent straight out of Bollywood into the local music scene. We've had a lot of Punjabi singers at our events in the past, but Mika is a celebrity everywhere and for him to be coming here in Winnipeg, it will help connect everyone from north India to south India. By inviting a household name like Singh at this year's Diwali Festival, organizers hope not only to inspire local upcoming music talent, but also to grow it to reflect the larger multicultural community of Winnipeg. Winnipeg is home to more than 75,000 people with Indian origin, but music and dance talent in the community has largely been dominated by the Punjabi influence. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
