Beynun Viyas music video

HulheviMEDIA have just produced a brand new music video for the Maldivian Hiyani (Band), to be released on 3rd July 2009. The song has Ahmed Amir of MAARStudio performing with newcomers Loreef and Marco. 

Beynun Viyas will be our first production to be broadcast since we changed from Club Hulhevi to HulheviMEDIA. 

Our collaborations with Ahmed Amir include Heyva Heyva, Aadheys, and Vehey Iru. 

A sneak preview of Beynun Viyas can be found on YouTube, as well as other music videos.

Meanwhile, our comedy show Avahaara Ganduvaru is awaiting the green signal from a private broadcaster.

Avahaara Ganduvaru is born

Maldivian independent TV producer HulheviMEDIA has just completed a 20-minute pilot of its planned comedy series Avahaara Ganduvaru. The show will draw on Maldivian comic traditions, particularly "hajoo jehun", to satirise contemporary politics and society. 

But in terms of language and what is shown onscreen, Avahaara Ganduvaru will push the boundaries of TV production. First time audiences, therefore, are likely to get a culture shock, but we hope the show will lead the way to a more open and independent media in the country.

We're currently negotiating with a broadcaster and seeking sponsors to fund and sustain the series.

Avahaara Ganduvaru introduces incredibly talented first time performers, young men and women, who have formed their own Facebook group, avahaara ganduvaru.

Preview audiences in general have liked the show and the screening has lead to a lively discussion about Maldivian comedy and the state of broadcasting in this country. 

Here are the links for two trailers of the show on YouTube:
