Last year’s London Mela attracted 65,000 visitors and this year’s event is set to be the best yet. Expect a vibrant, one day festival with seven entertainment areas and something to appeal to every generation and community.

From the main stage, which is supported by BBC Asian Network and features international Bollywood superstars alongside leading British Asian artists, through to the Classical Stage and Heritage Maidaan, the London Mela has something to appeal to everyone.

Other stages include the London Flavas Stage, presented by BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra, the Indo Electronica stage, BBC Asian Network Mix Tent and the Community Cabaret Stage.

Children and the young at heart will love the free arts and interactive entertainment of the Magic Mela area as well as the enormous funfair.

The food market features cuisine from around the world, including the tastiest array of South Asian food that you will find at any UK festival. Also, make sure you check out the craft market and business exchange.

My name is RONALD ALPHONSE, I’m a french arranger ( working with Maria Schneider..) and saxophonist ( working with Yuri buenaventura, Orlando poleo…)

My new CD project ” MOODS OF THELONIOUS” is now avaible, dedicated to Thelonious MONK , in a Latin Jazz-salsa concept in a broader sense ( soon on I TUNES).
The groovy and latin arrangements gives a radically new look to this composer.

I’m looking for concerts possible in differents intrumentations.

In association with Tuba Productions and the Barbican,  Jungle Drums magazine is organising a Maria Rita gig at the Barbican on 28th June.  

Maria Rita is the daughter of the famed singer Elis Regina and and pianist Cesar Camargo Mariano and is also a fantastic musician in her own right.  She earned two Latin Grammy’s in 2003, a further two in 2005 and has been nominated for this years BBC World Music Awards.  She is a fantastically expressive singer combining bossa-nova, pop and jazz and has brilliant stage presence.

I am working on the marketing for the event.  We’d obviously like to spread word as far and wide as possible. I was wondering if you would be able to flag this up for us in anyway? Do you have a mailing list that we could send some information out to or could you flag the gig up for us on your website in any way? I have included some info below but do let me know if you think anything would be possible or if you have any further questions.

Many thanks,

and have a barbecue but we also have a fully air conditioned Main Bar and beautifully cool Venetian Inspired Terrace Bar for live bands and any kind of function band to perform here
With a capacity of 200 on the ground floor and 80 on the terrace bar, either can be hired individually or as a hole.
For a limited period (May and June) we have decided to offer the Terrace Bar free
