21- hour Latino Carnival to feature India’s hottest DJ’s Lil’B and Akshay

Keeping the Hilton Colombo’s 21-hour Latino Carnival alive all night long with pulsating samba beats will be two of India’s hottest DJ’s - Akshay and Lil’B along with local sensation DJ Timmy. These charismatic maestros of music are sure to increase the intensity of an experience that already has so much to offer in the way of fashion shows, aqua aerobics, Latino flavour and style. Visitors are welcome to experience these festivities and many more, as the Hilton Colombo hosts an electrifying event full of wondrous variety at the Hilton Colombo’s first of its kind 21-hour Latino Carnival on the 21st and 22nd of September 2007, from 6 pm onwards.

Known for his breadth of experience and range of musical talent, DJ Akshay is the well respected virtuoso who has featured at such spirited, one-of-a-kind events such as the PACCO RABBANE ‘ULTRAVIOLET MAN’ in Mumbai, and the ‘DJ’S WAR ZONE AT GOA’. He has also gained much acclaim for his stint as the in-house DJ for Channel V as a part of the ‘V NIGHTS’ and ‘Get Gorgeous’ programmes. His unique style and flair is much sought after all over Asia, and this earned him the privilege of being one of few DJ’s invited to participate in MTV’s launch of VH1 in Mumbai.

Most recently seen for her breakthrough award-winning performance on MTV’s ‘On The Job’, Season 3, where she won a DJ competition to become an apprentice for DJ Suketu, DJ Lil’B also known as Bhavini Shah. She is a relative new comer to the world of spinning, but her star has shone very brightly in a short space of time. Making her name by DJ’ing at events such as Channel [V]’s ‘Get Gorgeous’ Season 3 Grand Finale, and at Mumbai clubs like Polly Esther’s, Poison, Aaziaano, White Lounge, Rockbottom, H2O, Squeeze, Fluid Spice, Traffic, Seven, 11echoes and others, she is a dynamo who is constantly attempting new things. Her latest project is as VJ for a show called ‘LAGEGI’ which will soon be launched by India’s UTV channel called ‘Bindass.’

The night revellers – following the many hours of salsa-ing away to the beats pounded out by these veteran DJs – can kick back and refuel themselves with a sumptuous breakfast buffet, while continuing to enjoy the sizzling festivities.

Another sensational offering to those gathered on both days will be a series of stunning and vibrant fashion parades showcasing the latest in swimwear, beachwear.

On the morning of the 22nd, the hotel will play host to a series of fun filled family events, including a spectacular brunch buffet, and family swimwear fashion show, while fitness enthusiasts can partake in two aerobics sessions: the first with an aquatic edge and the second with a Latino flavour. The dazzling fiesta will draw to a close at 3pm.
All proceeds from ticket sales of the event will be donated to the Ceylon School for the Deaf & Blind Charity Fund. For more details and reservations, call the Food & Beverage office on 2492 492 ext: 2012.
