Bappi Lahiri on Recreating Vishal-Shekhar's song on MX Player's show 'Times of Music'

MX Player's one of a kind, Original Series 'Times of Music' is a reality music show that brings together 20 legendary composers, who will rewrite history and reinvent each other’s most celebrated tunes.


MX Player's one of a kind, Original Series 'Times of Music' is a reality music show that brings together 20 legendary composers, who will rewrite history and reinvent each other’s most celebrated tunes.

Several legendary music composers and artists joined a virtual press conference including the likes of Vishal Dadlani, Amaal Malik, Amit Trivedi, Sachin-Jigar, Shantanu Moitra, Anand-Milind, Agnee, Palash Sen, Sneha Khanwalkar, Pyarelalji, Mithoon, Indian Ocean, Rajesh Roshan, Anandji, Viju Shah, Bappi Lahiri amongst others.

As Bappi lahiri is known as the Disco King, we asked him how did that impact his recreation of one of Vishal- Shekhar's best songs. To this, he stated that he loves Vishal- Shekhar's songs and his song 'Jag Ghoomeya' of Sultan is extremely good, so he thought he can do remix with his own form & style. He also stated that it was an unbelievable experience and the audience will really like it as well.


Vishal Dadlani was asked about what are the changes that he would like to see in the music industry, to this he said, "We've had three months, where the film business has been out of commission. We don't know how long it's going to be before people can go to movie theatres and watch movies again, in large groups. At this time, we have a show like Times of Music, where the musicians, the song writers, the composers is the focus. I think that is the direction that needs to be kind of pursued more and independent music has really made a huge impact in this time. This is the time that composers, songwriters and independent musicians can really sort of strike out and that's the change that was really really needed where a musician is a self sufficient entity even without a film.


Bappi Lahiri was popular in the late 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s for the film soundtracks composed by him from films such as Zakhmee, Chalte Chalte, Naya Kadam, Aangan Ki Kali, Wardat, Disco Dancer, Hathkadi, Namak Halaal, Masterji, Dance Dance,Himmatwala, Justice Chaudhury, Tohfa, Maqsad, Commando, Gang Leader, Sailaab and Sharaabi.

The first Hindi film for which he composed music was ''Nanha Shikari'' (1973) and his first Hindi composition was Tu Hi Mera Chanda sung by Mukesh. The turning point of his career was Tahir Husain's Hindi film, Zakhmee (1975), for which he composed music and doubled as a playback singer. He composed a duet with Mohammed Rafi and Kishore Kumar named "Nothing Is Impossible", for the same film.His compositions Jalta Hai Jiya Mera (Kishore Asha duet) and Lata Mangeshkar solos like Abhi Abhi Thi Dushmani and Aao Tumhe Chand from the same film became popular and gave him recognition. The duet Phir Janam Lenge Hum sung by Kishore Lata became famous from the film Phir Janam Lengey Hum.

Songs from the films like Aap Ki Khatir, Dil Se Mile Dil, Patita,Lahu Ke Do Rang, Hatya and Ravikant Nagaichs ''Surakksha'' 1979 had soft music.
