The next time leg­endary Pak­istani artiste, Ra­hat Nus­rat Fateh Ali Khan per­forms here, which he promis­es will be soon, he just might play some steel­pan mu­sic for his lo­cal fans. Bmo­bile, dur­ing Ali Khan's con­cert at the Cen­tre of Ex­cel­lence, Ma­coya, on May 14, pre­sent­ed the gift of a tenor pan, com­plete with case, to Ali Khan in ap­pre­ci­a­tion of his ex­cel­lent mu­si­cal pre­sen­ta­tion that to­talled over two hours with a twen­ty-minute break mid­way through. The steel­pan was pre­sent­ed to Ali Khan by Randy Ram­ta­hal, a di­rec­tor on the TSTT Board of Di­rec­tors dur­ing the sec­ond half of his per­for­mance. The au­di­ence ap­plaud­ed with pride as the singer ac­cept­ed the gift thank­ing Ram­ta­hal and bmo­bile for the, "won­der­ful gift of mu­sic."

This spe­cial mo­ment was on­ly one of many dur­ing the con­cert pro­duced by Iconok­last Ltd and of which Blink/bmo­bile were the main spon­sors. Every pa­tron from gen­er­al ad­mis­sion, re­served, VIP and VVIP had an op­por­tu­ni­ty to win Black­ber­ry hand­sets as door prizes. Al­so, the first two pa­trons that iden­ti­fied them­selves as cel­e­brat­ing their birth­day on the night al­so won Black­ber­ries. It was a night made for mem­o­rable mo­ments and pa­trons were en­cour­aged to cap­ture theirs on their Black­ber­ry hand­sets then use the lat­est Black­ber­ry ap­pli­ca­tion on demon­stra­tion at the con­cert to have their cam­era pho­tos print­ed im­me­di­ate­ly us­ing Blue­tooth con­nec­tiv­i­ty.

As for the show it­self, an en­joy­able night was had by all, in­clud­ing mem­bers of par­lia­ment, for­mer gov­ern­ment min­is­ters, mem­bers of the diplo­mat­ic corps such as In­di­an High Com­mis­sion­er Malay Mishra, and even for­mer prime min­is­ter Bas­deo Pan­day and his wife, Oma, who were danc­ing in their seats as Ali Khan and his full or­ches­tra per­formed. The show opened with a fine per­for­mance by pan­nist, Noel Pierre who im­pressed the au­di­ence with his ren­di­tion of O Re Piya. He was fol­lowed by Neval Chait­lal who re­al­ly sent the au­di­ence wild with his per­for­mance that saw him singing Bol­ly­wood film songs such as Tu Jaane Na, Saiyaan and Naina. By the end of Ali Khan's sec­ond per­for­mance pa­trons could re­frain no longer and left their seats to come to the front of the stage to dance and sing along with him.
