This was NASHA's 3rd year to perform at the FESTIVAL, however the first time, the band got to play their own forte of music and dance, other than accompanying other musicians. The band embraced this wholeheartedly and once again adopted their INDO KIWI collaboration efforts. The band brought in some Jazz and Tap dancers as well as a small horn section. NASHA however had fun supporting the HARE KRISHNA band, doing their short chanting rendition to get the crowds into the spirit of the Festival an it was great fun!
