Aadesh jams with pop queen Shakira

COMPOSER Aadesh Shrivastava says he had an exciting time performing with singer Shakira and rapper Wyclef Jean at the Four Seasons club in Toronto. He's also excited about his upcoming album with the rapper. Aadesh, who has been working on his 'rock star' physique and image, says the September 9 show was truly exhilarating.
"It was an exclusive charity event called One By One Life Belongs To Everyone. We performed a fusion track called Bollywood Meets Hollywood before an august gathering. In the audience, we had names like Matt Damon, Phil Fontaine, supermodel Petra Nemcova and athlete Kevin Lin. On stage it was Shakira, Wyclef and I, jamming the night away." The composer was overwhelmed by the audience's response and Shakira's attitude. "The ovation I received was unprecedented. Though Shakira had come to Mumbai last year, I met her for the first time in Toronto. She's so down to earth and so hard working. Though she must have sung Hips Don't Lie numerous times, she still rehearsed it before appearing on stage," said Aadesh. The composer is now upbeat about his album with Jean. "I think Indian music is finally coming into its own in the West. My album with Wyclef Jean is tentatively titled Carnival and will be out in November. I've done ragas, alaaps and Indian rhythms. I'm hoping Lataji will perform alaaps for the album." — IANS
