A fundraising performance is being held on Saturday afternoon in Auckland for the victims of the Pacific tsunami and South-East Asia earthquake.

More than 180 people died in Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga after the quake and tsunami in the Pacific and more than a thousand people died in last week's earthquake in Indonesia.

The Labour Party's Associate Ethnic Affairs spokesperson Raymond Huo says the event being held at Botany Downs town centre will be a showcase of traditional Asian dance and performances from other ethnic communities.
