India’s most pioneering Music Director releases much-awaited new album.
Bappi Lahiri, has released his new album "My Love" – a pioneering fusion that combines the best of East and West.
Bringing on board the talents of international rapper, Jetta (from 50 Cent), “My Love” comprises eight tracks, three of which feature the music legend’s own unique interpretation of the R’n’B genre.
Bappi Lahiri was born in Calcutta, West Bengal in 1952 into a family with a rich tradition in classical music.
He began his career as a music director at the young age of 19, providing his first Bollywood film score for the film Nanha Shikari in 1973. The film which established him on the map was Tahir Husain's blockbuster film, Zakhmee (1975), for which he composed music and doubled as a playback singer.
This film brought him to the heights of fame and brought forth a new era in the Hindi film industry. Bappi rose from strength to strength and the music for his subsequent films Chalte Chalte and Surakshaa were, and remain, tremendously popular, placing Bappi on the pedestal of stardom and making him the youngest music director of his time to have attained such intense success in such a short duration.
Bappi Lahiri was the pioneer of disco beats in India and his refreshing, vibrant and rhythmic music had the entire nation dancing for decades.
Widely known as the "Disco King" of India, even today, Bappi Lahiri was the most popular music director in the 1980s due to his famous compositions for films such as Disco Dancer, which have left a lasting imprint in the minds of all those who heard the music.
