2ofus’ Adhuham and Shamrook to perform at India’s National Street Food Festival

Founders of Maldivian hit band 2ofus – Ahmed Adhuham and Abdulla Shamrook – have been announced as featured international performers at the National Street Food Festival (NSFF) 2025 in India – representing the Maldives at the center stage of one of Asian’s biggest cultural celebrations.

NSFF will be held at the iconic Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi from December 12th to December 14th.

Adhuham and Shamrook will be joined by renowned Maldivian artist Raaif for a dynamic live performance that mixes island rhythms with modern fusion and global influences, entertaining an audience projected to reach hundreds of thousands over the three-day festival.

Their participation in the festival positions Maldives on a global cultural stage of massive international visibility and significance. It marks a major milestone for Maldivian music on the world stage, strengthening cultural and artistic ties between the Maldives and India through music, culture, and global unity.

“To perform at one of the world’s biggest street food and cultural festivals is a proud moment for us and for Maldivian music as a whole. We are honored to represent our country at this global celebration of culture,” Adhuham and Shamrook remarked.

Hosted by the National Association of Street Vendors of India (NASVI), the National Street Food Festival is celebrated as Asia’s biggest street food and cultural event, offering:

• Over 500 regional dishes from every corner of India
• International live performances
• Cultural displays, artisan stalls, and traditional activities
• Annual footfall reaching several lakhs of visitors

Adhuham, the lead vocalist, songwriter, entrepreneur, and founder of 2ofus, is known for his original compositions, energetic live shows, and global collaborations. His artistry blends contemporary music with heartfelt storytelling and cross-cultural influences.

Shamrookh, the band’s co-founder, is regarded as one of the Maldives’ foremost drummers, rooted in traditional Boduberu rhythms while mastering modern percussion. His performance brings a strong cultural and traditional depth to international platforms.

Together, Adhuham and Shamrookh embody the creative vision and founding drive behind 2ofus, a group that has quickly risen to become one of the Maldives’ most impactful musical forces.

Joining them for this performance, Raaif contributes his distinctive modern Maldivian sound, enhancing both the diversity and global resonance of the lineup.

2ofus is collaborating with Me2Films and Folk n Folk through the Battle of the Bands International, the global platform that launched their international rise—and that same journey of recognition now continues with this landmark show.
