Sikh boy sings Maori songs, steals show

CHRISTCHURCH: Interesting the mix that cultural fusions create, and wonderful these are as long as we know and understand our own culture. Dressed in the traditional Sikh patka, seven-year-old Karanveer Bhabra was part of the Harewood Primary School kapa haka group. Karanveer's father Amrik Singh Bhabra says his son loved learning the Maori songs and actions while mother Kitty Bhabra is proud that her son enjoyed learning about different cultures and languages.

The 26th annual festival at the Christchurch Town Hall saw performances from more than 2800 primary and intermediate pupils from across Canterbury. Event manager Ali Nauman said 7000 visitors had attended. Performers included new groups from the Chatham Islands, Egypt, the Middle East and Hawaii.
