The Fireworks Company selected for the 2010 World Cup comes to La Ronde!

Montreal, Thursday, August 6, 2009 – With just under a year to go before it lights up the sky at the 2010 World Cup of Football, which will be held in South Africa for the first time, Fireworks for Africa (FFA) is coming to L’International des Feux Loto-Québec presented by TELUS this Saturday to give us a spectacular preview of its pyrotechnical know-how… a great kick-off for next year’s great event!

For this “Night with the Stars,” the South-African company will feature popular music from the movies. Unlike the U.S. competitor whose recent show focused on films about love, FFA has opted for action-movie soundtracks, including Superman, Jurassic Park, Gladiator, and the James Bond film series. The show will also feature lyrical musical selections – creating, in the words of its designer, Nick Mitri, a kind of ECG where spikes of heart-thumping action alternate with moments of heartfelt emotion!

While this is only its second participation at L’International, FFA knows Quebec very well, having won the Chute-Montmorency competition twice and the Lac-Leamy competition three times. FFA got its start by providing fireworks for the Bon Jovi concert tour in South Africa in the mid 1990s. Founder Nick Mitri is committed to making FFA one of the few, if not the only, fireworks company to cover the African continent as a whole, with displays as far as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Nigeria, Mozambique, and others.

At 8 p.m. prior to the pyromusical display, Andrée Watters. will perform a special show at Place d’animation. Access is free.

Nick Mitri’s comments can be heard on L’International’s web site (www.internationaldesfeuxlotoquebec.com). Also listed on the site are the 10 or so musical selections that will be featured in the Fireworks for Africa show.
