A new movie from India will feature a song by pop singer Shakira, who was on TVs screens worldwide with her World Cup Soccer performance this month. “It will be very sensuous cabaret kind of song” according to the composers, Salim- Sulaiman. Indian media describes it as a frenzied dance track to be filmed on South African model Candice Boucher.
Interestingly the star of the yet untitled movie is cricket entrepreneur Sachin Joshi, who is part owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders, an Indian Premier League team.
American entertainers have had significant success in India’s “Bollywood” in recent years. Some time ago, I commented on Snoop Dogg’s number “Singh is Kingg” which went on to become the top song in India that year.
In September 2009, “She Wolf” the singer’s third English language compilation she said, “I have music from India, the Middle East, a little bit of Colombian influences.”
