MAJOR MUMBAI MUSIC PRODUCER, DIRECTOR, COMPOSER, SINGER ASSEMBLES LOS ANGELES CREW FOR RECORDING, VIDEO, ‘DON’T SAY GOODBYE” “Something I Have to Do,” Says Bappi Lahiri to the Oscar-winning “Slumdog… “ movie. But Bappi also reaches outside of India… into American rap and hip hop. Before the Michael Jackson project took center stage, he had completed work with rappers Dr. Dre and MIA as well as Jetta from 50 Cent. Now Michael Jackson. Bappi considers his King of Pop link to be legit. “For some time I was negotiating to present a show with The Jacksons in India and when MJ came to Mumbai for a concert in 1996 I was, I think, the only local industry guy to be introduced to him. He said he was very fond of my song, ‘Disco Dancer’ which was popular at the time.” Jackson was also very impressed by Bappi’s love of bling – gold chains and all – which is his trademark in Mumbai, making him instantly recognizable in the crowded streets and also very wary of airport metal detectors! Bappi is here to talk about this and alot more about the king of pop.......
