Mumbai: Canadian singer Nelly Furtado is known for her experimental music and music composer AR Rahman is regarded as India's musical genius. And they're getting together for a unique jugalbandi at the Nokia New Years concert in Mumbai.
The two were supposed to meet three years ago when Nelly was approached with a role in Bollywood blockbuster Rang de Basanti.
“We were destined to meet now,” says Rahman.
While Nelly says, “Destiny I guess works in strange ways. Good things come to those who can wait. May be I wasn’t ready three years ago”.
At the concert Rahman will showcase Pray for Me Brother among his other new songs. And Nelly whose dance moves and music could rival any in Bollywood is expected to be on her toes especially with competition in the form of Priyanka Chopra, Shahid Kapur and Koena Mitra, who will also perform at the concert.
“I don’t want to be deported if my dance moves are terrible,” Nelly quips. “We will be inspired by Bollywood and the vibrancy of Indian movements,” she explains.
No worries though, when it comes to being vocal about her fascination for India as she lends her voice to the title track of Kabhi Kabhi.
