Until
a
couple
of
years
back,
Bappi
Lahiri
was
almost
lost
amongst
the
new
composer
crowd
in
Bollywood.
A
couple
of
his
albums
followed
but
it
was
with
Vishal-Shekhar's
Boombai
Nagariya
which
he
sung
with
a
retro
charm
that
put
him
back
in
the
public
eye...
or
should
we
say
ear.
That
was
the
first
time
that
Bappi
had
sung
for
any
other
music
composer.
And now Bappi has taken to the mike, once again. He recently completed recording the title track of Mani Ratnam's Guru, composed by none other than A.R.Rahman. Few people know that Rahman and Lahiri have known each other since a very long time. Lahiri was only too happy to work with the maestro. In fact, he is not hesitant to say that according to him, Rahman is the best from among his contemporaries.
A seven minute song, the lyrics of the title track has been penned by Gulzar. In fact, they were all so well prepared that the recording was completed in a single night. Bappi da didn't want to talk too much about the lyrics of the song, at this stage. But we do know that it will be used for the credits of the film. Everyone was satisfied with the end result of the song. Bappi is now open to more playback singing, provided he gets good numbers.
