‘The Expressions’ centred in Barkur, the name is synonymous for quality entertainment and talent promotion as its sole purpose for which it was born.

Talented artistes of the group spread across the globe are collaborating remotely to put together a non-stop entertainment programme featuring selected Konkani songs of various composers, scintillating dance performances and comedy skits by the group’s talented comedy trio, Sujatha Andrade, Alwyn Andrade and Stephen Lewis.

The group has come a long way in its 20 years of existence. Presenting some pathbreaking cultural extravaganza starting from ‘Expressions 2000’, ‘Sambhram’, ‘Expressions 2005’, ‘Karaval Milan Wilfy Nite’, ‘The Expressions Wilson Olivera Silver Jubilee Nite’, ‘Tuvvi Tuvvi’, ‘Moagachi Aproop Ghadi’, ‘Expressions 2009’, ‘Expressions 2015’, ‘Noorondu Nenapu Dinavoo Manadalli’ and comedy-drama ‘Konnee Samanaath’ etc staged in Barkur, Brahmavar, Shirva, Mudarangadi and in the distant Bengaluru and Mumbai too. The group also takes pride in the fact of being the co-organizers of two of the annual Kavita Fests by Kavita Trust (Regd). Comedy skits presented by ‘The Expressions’ in mega shows like Wilfy Nites and Wilson Olivera Nites and the decennial function of MCA Qatar are much talked about and have won accolades and prizes in TV shows in Daijiworld and Namma TV channels. ‘The Expressions’ also joined hands with the parish council of Jeppu to organize the Udupi diocese level Wilfy Rebimbus memorial singing competition.

‘The Expressions’ grandly launched Rockin’ Angels, probably the first-ever kids’ band in Udupi, in a mega show on January 1 this year in front of a jam-packed crowd at the grounds of Mother of Sorrows Church, Udupi.
