Argentina’s world-renowned Arabic music icon Mario Kirlis and his troupe grace the stage of Hong Kong for the first time, with two top-notch belly dance rising stars Shanan and Antonella.

Undoubtedly one of the most sought-after and versatile Arabic musicians, Mario Kirlis has collaborated with some of the greatest Arabic singers including Yusef Hamed, Tony Mouzayek and Sabah. His music is widely interpreted in the world of belly dance by celebrity dancers Saida, Fairuz, Maiada and many more. Mario and his group will perform in Hong Kong the brand-new music and choreographies from his latest album Vol. 9, with a different programme on each night.

The heat is on with the vibrant and sensational dancers Shanan and Antonella, who are professionally trained under the tutelage of Saida. They dance with excellent techniques, dynamism, passion and charm. Shanan and Antonella earn rave reviews for their extensive tours in Latin America and internationally with Mario Kirlis. Both are now on the trajectory of international stardom and being considered as the successors of belly dance legend Saida.

世界數一數二的阿根廷中東音樂掌門人Mario Kirlis，將率領由一流樂師組成的樂隊，以及兩位炙手可熱，極速上位的肚皮舞明星Shanan和Antonella，首次踏足香港舞台，讓本地樂迷舞迷親身體驗由他獨一無二的中東風情。

Mario Kirlis肯定是國際樂壇最受歡迎及最搶手的中東音樂家之一，合作過的著名歌手不計其數，包括Yusef Hamed、Tony Mouzayek 和Sabah，而肚皮舞巨星如Saida、Fairuz、 Maiada等等，都爭相以Kirlis的作品入舞。這次香港演出的音樂將是來自其最新的第九輯大碟，兩晚將選奏不同的曲目。

而將Kirlis音樂形像化的，是兩位充滿能量與性感十足的Shanan和Antonella。這兩位肚皮舞傳奇Saida的得意門生， 以一流技巧，十足活力，熱情澎湃與魅力迫人的舞姿，迷倒各地舞迷。與Kirlis拉丁美洲和海外的多次巡演，均叫好叫座。
