Shibani's stint with Tamil
The singer talks about the challenges of singing in regional languages
Singer Shibani Kashyap has a lot on her platter these days. And this includes not just Bollywood projects, tours and a number of live shows across the globe, but also a "lot of stuff down South".
The Sajna aa bhi jaa hitmaker has just sung an item song called Garam masala for the Kannada movie titled Villian. The film is being currently shot in Benguluru and stars South star Ragini. The music for the film has been given by Gurukiran. "I am dubbing two more Kannada songs for two Kannada films," says Shibani, who is quite thrilled with her stint in South Indian films. "It was a truly exciting experience to sing in another language for the first time, and challenging too," she adds.
Previously, Shibani has also sung in French for a Hollywood film called Walk Away, and recently another bangle song in a film titled Pa Ma Ga Re Sa starring actors Rohit Roy, Reshmi Ghosh, Gauri Karnik, among others. The singer was also privileged to perform at the last Commonwealth Games.
"I am living out of a suitcase, literally," she quips as she talks about her performances and live shows across the globe. "I am just not getting time to sit down and work on a personal album and travelling is keeping me occupied."
Shibani has been invited by the Public Relations Department of Thailand (PRD) that will organise a music festival titled 'ASEAN+6 Music Festival for King' in December 2011 at Thailand Cultural Centre in Bangkok. The concert will comprise of singers from ASEAN member countries and dialogue partners, namely the Republic of Korea, Japan, the People's Republic of China, Australia, New Zealand and India. This event aims to celebrate the 84th Birthday Anniversary of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej this year and strengthen relations between the ASEAN members and their dialogue partners. It will also promote cultural exchange through songs and performances. "I will be performing songs mostly in Hindi and maybe one or two songs in Thai language," she explains.
