The organizers of this historic mega concert, the Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha, had been continuously urging fans to get their tickets early.
The show, which is in celebration of the 174th Anniversary of the arrival of Indians in Guyana, is expected to be a major sold out to the Guyanese audience.
Sonu Nigam will be giving his Guyanese fans a three-hour non-stop session of rocking and mesmerizing Bollywood melodies comprising his popular hits as well as gems from yesteryear.
He is well known for his tribute to the legendary Mohammed in his album titled “Rafi Resurrected”.

Performing along with Sonu Nigam will be the very talented singer Gunjan Singh and TV Actress/ Model Manasi Verma who appeared in a number of TV serials including the popular ZEETV Soap Kasamh Se in which she played Bani’s sister, Piya.
They will be complemented by Sonu’s full band of outstanding musicians and technical personnel. The Sabha’s own dance troupe, the Dharmic Nritya Sangh will also perform.
The Dharmic Sabha has been working assiduously to put all arrangements in place to make Sonu’s first concert in Guyana truly magnificent. Special focus has been given to stage, sound, lights, big screens and seating so that patrons can have optimum enjoyment.
There will be a number of food stalls featuring the various Indian delicacies such as sada rotis and chokhas, seven-curry, authentic Indian cuisine and Indian sweets. And as usual, there will be a strict no alcohol policy.
All proceeds of this event will be dedicated towards the construction of a Shelter which will house children who are victims of abuse. The building will be based in Berbice, where the Sabha has already secured land.
