FIREHAWKS in Sydney
Tuesday, May 14, 2013 - 14:21
The best band in Mauritius, FIREHAWKS, visited Australia in March 2013 and the AMA was invited to host their visit in Sydney.
On Saturday 16th March, about 300 people packed a church hall in Bankstown to celebrate the anniversary of the Independance of Mauritius and danced the night away to the fantastic music produced by this group of 7 talented musicians.
For most of us there was a certain amount of nostalgy as 2 of their prerformers were the sons of Karl Brasse and Gerard Cimiotti.
The dance floor was rocking all night as they took us through their repertoire going back to the 60s, 70s, 80s and of course some segas. WHAT A NIGHT !!!!!!!
