Dubai, November 27: At the special invitation from the U.A.E. Ministry of Information and Culture and the Embassy of India, Abu Dhabi, Goenchim Noketram, a Goan folk and musical troupe, is on U.A.E. visit from November 24 to December 7, 2012 for the 41st National Day celebrations of the country.

Under the auspices of the premier and very popular radio station 105.4 Radio Spice – Dubai, this internationally acclaimed troupe will showcase its talents in Dubai on November 29, 2012 at Sheikh Rashid Auditorium in Indian High School, Dubai.

Goenchim Noketram is a globally recognized Goan group, having performed and represented India in Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina, Paraugay, Bahrain, besides different places in India itself. The leader of the troupe – Marianela Mascarenhas Dias – is a Lecturer in Chemistry and has Grade-6 qualifications in Pianoforte and Theory of Music from the Royal School of Music, London. In addition, Marianela has passed the Solfeigio with honours.

Goenchim Noketram, under the leadership of Marianela, has given a total of 23 international shows, in addition to 14 national and a number of shows on state level, besides performing at various Mando festivals.

Radio Spice 105.4 – Dubai has taken the onus of having Goenchim Noketram present a show in Dubai under the theme “Harmony 2012 – Celebrating Friendship”. The aim of this program is to bring Mangaloreans, Goans and the various Indian communities together under one roof to celebrate the unity of the people of India.

India is a large, beautiful country, with people speaking different languages and of various religions, all coexisting as one nation. This show intends to bring out the feeling of ‘we belong together’ and that this sentiment should come from within. Otherwise, we would not be able to appreciate that we are different and that it is this difference that makes each one of us unique and special.

The chief guest at Harmony 2012 will be His Excellency Lokesh Mysore Kapanaiah, Ambassador of India to the United Arab Emirates. The event will host approximately 2000 guests, who would not only have the enthralling performances of the Goenchim Noketram troupe to enjoy, but also other exciting items such as early bird gifts, best ethnic dress prize for male and female and special novelty attractions. The organizers have meticulously planned for each moment of the program to be relished to the fullest. The function will commence at 7:30 pm (gates open 6:30 pm).
