Folk dance and Qawwali performance mesmerize audience at Karachi Cultural Gala – Entertainment

(Web Desk) – The World Culture Festival entered its 11th day on Sunday with folk dance and qawwali performance enthralling the audience in Karachi.

Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA) artists Abdul Ghani, Adnan Butt, Mani Chao, Farrukh Darbar, Master Ghulam Hussain and Ravi Jhoomar entertained people with regional folk dances.

After the dance performance, Maestro Qawwals Fareed Fayyaz and Abu Muhammad thrilled the audience with their unique style.

A day before, several events took place at the festival – an exhibition, a play and a concert.

The day began with an art exhibition titled “The Heritage, Vision of the Old Masters and Contemporary Painters of Pakistan” held at Ahmed Parvez Art Gallery.

Following the exhibition, the audience was brought into a fit of laughter by the comedic play “Are You Lovin’ It”, set in an imaginary theme park, WacDonald’s Land.

The play examined the fast food industry as a symbol of globalization and its global impact, with the story addressing current social issues in Japan.

Directed by Kayo Tamura, the production offered audiences a unique insight into contemporary Japanese culture by combining traditional theater techniques such as Kabuki and Japanese swordplay with elements of modern pop culture such as Gothic Lolita.

The day ended with a concert that left visitors in a frenzy with various musical styles and performances.
