Hip Hop artist Akon's manager is in the city. And he is here ith a
message for A R Rahman.Akon' s manager boarded the flight from Boston
to Mumbai a few days ago.
A source said, "Akon is quite impressed by Indian music especially the
bhangra songs, which are in vogue these days. Considering the
popularity of Indian music, Akon has expressed a desire to sing
Punjabi songs, Hip Hop and R&B for his Indian fans. And he'd like to
work with Rahman whose work he really admires."
As soon as he decided to work with A R Rahman, Akon sent his manager
and partner to discuss and finalise a few projects, which the singer
and composer can work together on. And that's not all.
"Given Akon's popularity, a pivotal player like Anil Dhirubhai Ambani
Group (ADAG) is also in talks with Akon. ADAG will soon be flying off
to the US to have a meeting with Akon," said the source.
"Akon's manager had a fruitful discussion with Rahman. Rahman will
soon meet Akon in Atlanta to finalise an action plan. They have a few
things in mind that will be executed soon. Akon is also looking
forward to working with solo singers like Sonu Nigam and cut more
albums for Indian audiences," added the source.
