Bappi Lahiri often touted as the disco king of Bollywood has completed 50 years in the music industry and in all these years, the singer has composed more than 9000 songs in over 600 films.
The celebrated singer has now collaborated with global pop stars Lady Gaga and Akon. He has also confirmed the news from Los Angeles to a media portal, “Yes, two duets, with her (Lady Gaga) singing in English and me in Hindi in my inimitable style. We are now waiting for the release to be greenlit, hopefully by the year-end. I also collaborated with Akon two months ago. That song should also be out soon.” When asked him to give more details, he replied, “Abhi Itna hi.”
Bappi has also collaborated with tech-house genius Jamie Jones and DJ duo The Martinez Brother for a new mash-up. Talking about this, Bappi said, “It features a remix of my superhit song from Disco Dancer, “Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy”.
Speaking about the song he said, “The song took a long time to record because I introduced disco beats in Indian Antara, to come up with an innovative sound. I also experimented with a new singer, Parvati Khan. But see, almost four decades later, people around the world are still playing it as a rare tribute to an Indian composer. I’m overwhelmed and feel proud to be accorded this honor.”
