MUSICAL ENSEMBLE 2010 – CHIKAADEE & RUBY (THE NATION ENTERTAINMENT)

July 72010

Brown Movementz Productionz Inc., a well known Music Label, has produced and released several music albums in a variety of languages – from Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Bengali, Gujarati, Carnatic, and Punjabi among others. The Music Label was initialized in 2003. Today, Brown Movementz Productionz is excited to announce its first Music concert, bringing together artists and various music labels from a variety of backgrounds onto one stage.

Considering the amount of artists, music labels, and entertainers who are eager to perform for their fans, Brown Movementz Productionz has taken the initiative to create a concert to be held on July 24th, 2010 from 5:00pm to 9:00pm at George Weston Recital Hall.

This concert is designed to bring greater awareness of South Asian artists, music labels and entertainers. This is not a concert that is looking to gain profit but to present the numerous talents that exist within the Toronto community, and to give them an opportunity to promote themselves and their music labels.

Along with giving an opportunity for South Asian artists, music labels and entertainers to showcase their talent, this is also a concert that is aiming to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. A portion of the proceeds raised from this concert will be donated to a cancer research foundation.

Cancer research has done much to further our knowledge of cancer and has lead to more effective treatments. They have been instrumental in educating the public about cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment. Cancer foundations are some of the organizations where patients and other individuals affected by the disease can turn to for support. We hope a contribution from this concert will fund research into a variety of forms of cancer, including lung, breast, brain, prostate, ovarian, and so many more.
