Dakar has emerged as a premier Indian destination wedding location. For Dakar's Indian families planning the biggest day of their son or daughter's life, the DJ choice is the difference between a good wedding and a legendary one.
The African Indian diaspora is concentrated primarily in East Africa — Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Mauritius — and South Africa. Mauritius in particular has a population over 68% of Indian heritage. These communities host some of the oldest Indian diaspora traditions outside India.
DJ Sohbash — Chicago-headquartered, multi award-winning, Bollywood-film credited (Dhoom 3), and Official Chicago Bulls Indian Heritage Night DJ — flies in for the world's most important Indian weddings. 25+ years of experience. 3,000+ Indian weddings performed. 350+ destination weddings worldwide. The gold standard for families who know that the DJ is the heartbeat of the entire celebration.
