This Diwali season, IAA Houston invites the community to come together for an evening of music, culture, and celebration at Diwali Dhamaka: Abby V Live in Concert on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at Unity of Houston.
The event will feature Abby V, the globally acclaimed Canadian-Indian singer, songwriter, and composer known for blending the timeless beauty of Indian classical music with modern styles and sounds. With training in both Carnatic and Hindustani classical traditions, and a background in Western classical music, Abby V has carved a unique place for himself as a bridge between cultures and generations.
Audiences can look forward to an extraordinary live performance featuring songs in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, Malayalam, and Tulu, offering something special for everyone. Abby’s versatility and soulful voice have earned him worldwide recognition, with recent highlights including his musical feature in the acclaimed film Kantara and collaborations across Indian and global music industries.
“Bringing Abby V to Houston for Diwali feels especially meaningful,” said Sheetal Bedi, Executive Director/CEO of IAA Houston. “He embodies the same mission that drives IAA — connecting people through the universal power of art, music, and shared heritage. This concert is a celebration not just of Diwali, but of unity, creativity, and cultural pride.”
The Diwali Dhamaka concert continues IAA Houston’s legacy of presenting world-class South Asian talent to audiences in the United States.
