By Sukrat Desai, Indo-Asian News Service
Ahmedabad, Sept 15 (IANS): "Brazeel, Brazeel" crooned the thousands who had gathered here to hear Dutch pop group Vengaboys belt out their hit song "Brazil".

The Vengaboys kicked off the concert Friday with "Brazil," "We're going to Ibiza" (eat pizza) and "Shala la la in the morning."

Then the Vengaboys broke into "We like to party" and more tracks from "The Party Album" as well as the "Greatest Hits" collection.

The Vengaboys were in Ahmedabad as part of a six-city Pepsi Vengaboys India tour. The concert was in support of Child Relief and You, an NGO that works for deprived children.

The group meet with their fans and interacted with them before the show.

"If you wanna be part of our group, you gotta pull out your pants, shirt and stand stark naked to show me your body. I'll then discuss with my band members about you," shot a brazen Kim Sasabone, head of the group when a fan inquired about the possibility of him joining the Vengaboys.

Asked whether she knew the taste of her fans, Sasabone said: "I do not know any Indian music, but I know how popular we are in Ahmedabad since I have been told that the people here go crazy after our music cassettes.

"I would like to get the hang of Indian classic music some time," Sasabone added.

Apart from Sasabone, who is known more for her provocative body language than her singing prowess, the group has Roy Den Burger, Denis Van Rijswijk and Yonick Bakker as members.

The band has performed in more than 130 countries and has gone platinum in 73 countries. Having sold over 10 million singles and over four million copies of their albums, the Vengaboys have proved to be the most successful Dutch pop group ever.

After Ahmedabad, the Vengaboys are likely to perform in Chandigarh, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Guwahati.
