He is renowned for his ability to mesmerize and sweep the audience off their seats and bring them to the dance floor with his enigmatic singing and swaying numbers. Melwyn, already a familiar name and sensation among many, has carved a niche for himself in the minds and hearts of music loving people of Mangalore, and is expected to enthrall the audience with his usual charm and flamboyant singing at the event.

Loy Valentine Saldanha, a young and talented musician from Mangalore with his team will provide music for the event. Roshan D’silva one of the ace compere in the GCC will host the event.

The collective opinion of the organizing committee is that, talents of Melwyn and many others should be nurtured and promoted on a larger platform. Normally these talents go unnoticed, due to the lack of resources and financial support. Hence, organizing this kind of event will help Melwyn and other talented local and Mangalorean artists to exhibit their talents by providing them a platform to perform. Hence, Vamanjooreans UAE are geared up to make this event memorable and successful by pooling together their collective efforts. This event would also enable them to serve the dual purpose of promoting cultural activities and artists and support their benevolent ventures in hand.
