Your live singer in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is home to the American film industry, and Indian cinema has made its own mark through film festivals, premieres and a loyal community of fans. Artesia’s Pioneer Boulevard, called Little India, offers Indian groceries and jewellers, and Irvine, Anaheim and the San Gabriel Valley have large Indian populations.

Weddings are held in hotels, wine-country estates and beachfront venues, and Navratri and Diwali stage shows draw thousands. Hollywood hotels host Bollywood-themed parties, and corporate events cater to the tech, medical and entertainment sectors.

Performers need visas and a local sponsor. Venues in Southern California have strict sound permits, and the band plans for a day of rest after the long flight.

The year in Los Angeles

The weather is mild all year, so weddings run from spring to autumn. Navratri and Diwali in October and November are the peak of the community calendar, and Holi is celebrated in March.

A set list for a Los Angeles evening

An LA audience loves cinema, so a set of film songs works well: Tum Hi Ho, Kabira, Chaiyya Chaiyya, Dil Se and Jai Ho for the dance floor, with an English song or two for the younger guests.

Getting to Los Angeles and setting up

LAX is a long flight from India, usually with a stop in the Gulf, London or East Asia. Artesia and Irvine are an hour or more from the airport in traffic. Banquet halls provide sound systems, and the band allows a rest day to adjust to the time difference of twelve to thirteen hours.

Where events happen around Los Angeles

Indian weddings in Southern California take hotel ballrooms in Los Angeles and Orange County, wine-country estates in Temecula and Malibu, and beach venues along the coast. Community events use halls and temples in Artesia, Cerritos, Irvine and the San Fernando Valley.

Outdoor venues have sound ordinances and often end amplified music at ten at night, so the dance block is planned around it. Distances are large and freeways are slow in the evening, so the band stays near the venue. The dry climate means outdoor events are possible most of the year.
