Music and entertainment
have become an integral part of any successful function.
Today, no function is complete without some form of
entertainment. 
The team at DK
Promotions has a combined
experience of over 25 years in entertainment. We take
care of all aspects of entertainment, from live bands
to D.J.'s to lighting rigs to providing stage management.
We have a diverse range of entertainers,
from magicians to artistes from abroad to cater for
your needs. So all you need to do is tell us what you
require and then sit back and let us do the arrangements,
plan and host the event for you. It simply cannot get
simpler than that! All you need to do after that is
enjoy yourself!

Artistes from Abroad |
|
DK Promotions are proud
to associate themselves with various artistes
for the Bollywood industry of Mumbai. We can organise
from a single artiste to a full troupe of musicians
and singers from India.
We will organise the contracts and
permits and handle the whole procedure from start
to finish. We can book these artistes for individual
events to full commercial events.
We also supply Indian
bands on short or long-term contracts.

Background Music |
|
Not sure if you want to have a live band or D.J.'s.
during your function but still want some music
being played? Well, we have the answer for you.
We can hire out a sound system
with c.d. player/tape recorder and an engineer
to set it all up for you and play a selection
of music for you. Alternatively, we can set up
the system for you to play the music or allocate
one of your friends to do so.

| Classical
Instrumentalists |
|
DK Promotions can organise
various classical instrumentalists to suit your
occasion. This can range from solo performers
to group performers.
We have a choice of classical instrumentalists
who can perform live during weddings, cocktail
parties or do stage performances. Choice of instruments
includes bamboo flute, santoor, sarod, shehnai,
sitar, tabla etc. We can also arrange for famous
instrumentalists to fly from abroad provided adequate
notice is given.
As a contrast
to Indian classical instruments, we also have
a group of Scottish bagpipe players who are becoming
increasingly popular during weddings. The bridegroom
arrives to the music of the bagpipes.

| Dancers |
|
DK Promotions can supply
dancers of various types from bhangra to raas
& garbas, from solo filmi to group dancers
from salsa to classical dancers. We can also cater
to your favourite film songs and get a dance choreographed
to suit your occasion.
Dancers can be a fun way to liven
up any occasion be it a birthday party or a wedding
or a dinner and dance.

| Bollywood
song dances:
We can supply dancers who can do traditional
or modern dances to Indian film songs to suit
your occasion.
You will be offered a choice
of songs to choose from old film classics to the
latest dance songs. You also have the choice of
either a single dancer or a whole troupe perform
for you.
Classical Dancers:
If you are keen to have
classical dances performed at your function, why
not have a Kathak dancer perform. The intricate
rhythm patterns of Kathak will leave you amazed
at this wonderful art form.
Traditional Garba or Bhangra
Dancers:
There is nothing more lively than the traditional
folk dances of Gujarat and Punjab, whether it
is the graceful Gujarati Garba or Dandya Raas
or the vibrant and energetic Bhangra.
Salsa Dancers:
For a non-traditional theme, why not have
Salsa dancers perform for you? After their initial
dances, they will get your guests on the dance
floor and to try it out themselves. As the steps
are kept simple for beginners to pick up, they
will have your guests dancing away to salsa music
in no time!
All dancers we book perform
in costume.

| Dhol
Players |
|
Until recently, dhol players were only ever heard
at Punjabi weddings. No more though.
Dhol players
are becoming increasing popular to liven up all
sorts of occasions. They are also an excellent
medium to attract attention for grand entries
by brides and grooms on their wedding day or during
the evening reception.
The pomp and ceremony of a
marriage celebration is started off in a grand
way by the sound of the dhol played by either
a single player or a troupe escorting the couple
into the hall.
|
|
| D.J.'s |
|
D.J.'s have slowly become a very vital part of
the entertainment industry in the past few years.
If your occasion is going to involve a lot of
dancing, then D.J.'s are an excellent Choice.
We at DK Promotions regularly book our D.J.'s
for various kinds of events, from birthday parties
to raves to weddings.
As our audiences are from various
cultures, our D.J.'s specialize in a wide array
of music, from Indian bollywood music to English
to Arabic to salsa to bhangra. So there's always
something to suit everyone's taste.
As each occasion is treated individually,
our D.J.'s are quite flexible and will always
do their best to cater to your needs. If you have
any special requests, they will be pleased to
play them for you.

| Live
Band |
|
Live bands have been at the heart of entertainment
for as long as any of us can remember. During
this time, a lot of change in performance has
come through. Today, live bands interact with
the audience and each band has an individual personality
and style of performance.
DK Promotions
can provide you with a band according to your
function and budget. As we provide bands for all
sorts of occasions, we have a list of performers
starting from a duo to a full size band consisting
of 8 to 10 members. We will arrange for you to
see the artistes in performance before you book
them.

Full Band for Mehfils:
Through the years, the concept of
mehfils has changed to one where a mixture of
new and old songs are performed with a lively
mix of qawwalis added in. Audience participation
is encouraged and this has resulted in mehfils
no longer comprising of just old songs and ghazals
and something only your mums and dads attended.
We have a growing number of youngsters who are
mehfil fans and this number is ever increasing!
One of our key bands responsible for this change
is 'Shama and Friends'. With their mix of old
classics inter-woven with new songs and lively
qawwalis, they hold the audience's attention,
whether they are 16 years old or 60!
Bands for
Dinner and Dances:
DK Promotions have
a number of bands suitable for dinner & dance
functions. We encourage our clients to see the
bands in performance before booking to give them
an idea of their style. We have a variety of local
bands as well as bands from India, to suit your
budget requirements.
Bands for
Garba:
Some of our bands specialize in garba entertainment
for sanjis and navratri. We can arrange the one-off
booking or the full navratri 9-night contract
for you.
Karaoke: Planning
to have a party where you would like your guests
to participate in singing?
We have karaoke specialists
for your entertainment. They will start the evening
off by singing a few songs and then encourage
you and your guests to join in. A latest choice
of songs and lyrics are available for you to choose
from. And if you feel like dancing half-way through
the evening, that's no problem either because
the karaoke singers will take over and sing to
the backing tracks of the dance numbers.

| Magicians |
|
Although not seen very often in Asian functions,
magicians are a novel way of entertaining your
guests. They can either be centre stage or go
from table to table, performing magic tricks.
Another occasion
where magicians are widely appreciated is children's
parties. It is wonderful to see the glow of wonder
on their faces when tricks are performed and as
the performers are experienced, the interaction
between themselves and the children is quite entertaining!
