It was amazing how for the past four months, two wonderful shows was brought to Kuwait showcasing great Filipino talents! This may have been due to the enormous support the Filipinos here showed during the FIFA Qualifying games last July or that somehow the entertainment producers back home thought Kuwait is a new ground for International shows. Whatever the reason maybe, the fact that local Filipino artists consider this country now as a good place to put on a show, amidst certain restrictions, is such an awesome breath of fresh air.
Awitawanan sa Kuwait 2011 was made possible by Western Union and Zain in cooperation with Vio Drinking Water, Red Bull and Dunkin Donut. The event was organized for Western Union's loyal customers wherein a single admission ticket is worth 2 remittance transaction receipts which was held at the Arraya Ballroom of the Marriott Courtyard at Sharq. It lasted for almost 3 hours - with awesome performances by lady comedienne Giselle Sanchez, new prince of R&B Kris Lawrence and the main event performer, comedian Allan K.

| Sponsors. No I'm not advertising them but I couldn't be more happy to see when I saw Jollibee's banner! Yes it's true.....Jollibee will be opening its very first store here (again) by the 1st week of December of this year! YAY! |

| Sissy Sisters? They did the intro act, lucky for them. I forgot their name but they're okay. |

| "A Star in a Million Season 2" contender Kris Lawrence swooning the audience with Bruno Mar's hit "Billionaire". Never thought he was that good on stage! |
 |
| Singing his famous OPM hit - "Kung Malaya Lang Ako". Does the telerserye "Sa Piling Mo" ring a bell? It's a Juday-Piolo tandem. Unfortunately I haven't seen that show but the song was rather familiar, must the FM radios playing it. |

| Eat Bulaga's one and only - Allan K! |

| Rendering a soulful ballad for the audience |
 |
| Obviously donning his famous act -- COMEDY! |
The show was awesomely done, having a great combination of two cool comedians and one soulful singer. I hope Allan K would do more shows here in the future. Will definitely be watching out for that! :)

Hey My! Yes I definitely agree! It was so refreshing to see more kababayan although in the area where I live you can always see them. For the past year the population of expat kababayans have increased by 45% (a friend of my Dad told me about that which was featured in the local news here). How about you? Is there a strong community of Pinoys in the Wild West where you live?
