Trivia : Bappi-da has always worked with new artists and talents. Alisha Chinai whom he introduced in the mid-80s became a big star in the 90s.

Bappi-da may not be in the same league as maestros like R.D Burman or Ilaiyaraaja, nor has he created many authentic classics. But Bappi-da is the first Indian musician to project an image and life-style through his music. With his lively disco beats as well as his flamboyant appearence, Bappi-da gives this message : be merry & enjoy life !

Bappi Lahiri & Shreya Ghoshal - the' Golden' connection

Disco-king Bappi Lahiri and Shreya Ghoshal came together recently to promote the music of 'The Dirty Picture' in which they sang the hit track 'Ooh La La - tu hai meri fantasy'(you are my fantasy).

What does Bappi Lahiri and Shreya Ghoshal have in common ? Ofcourse, they are successfull musicians and they are Bengalis. And they have many hits to their credit that has turned 'Gold'.And further more they have the 'Golden connection' - literally !

Bappi-da (as Bappi Lahiri is affectionately known -which means 'Brother Bappi' in Bengali) is synonymous with gold - whether his lively disco-music or his sparkling, flamboyant attires.Infact, Bappi-da's habit of wearing flashy clothes and gold chains is inspired by his childhood hero - Elvis Presley.

Shreya Ghoshal is the most talented and cuttest of new female-singers. Is she fond of wearing jewelleries like Bappi-da - we don't know. But certainly she is often seen now-a-days in TV-ad and billboards,being the brand ambassador of a renowned jewellery group. As the saying goes -like master,like disciple !
