Bappi Lahiri poses with Slum Kids

This is  Bappi Lahiri, an international music director, composer, and singer  in both Indian and American film industry.  Years ago, he met Mother Theresa in Kolkota and shared a moment with her.  She told him to do good for the poor of India  through the success he was having with his musical talents.  He never forgot his promise to her to try.

 After years of success and the luxury to live six months in Mumbai, and six months in Los Angels, he has been working on a project using the untapped talent of music and dancing of Slum Boys of Mumbai.  He feels strongly about preserving the unique culture of India.  In the song the boys sing,  “We love India”  and call themselves the Slum Boys of Mumbai .  Bappi’s plan is to help the boys and their families from the inside of the slums out not eradicate their way of life.  Obviously, sanitation and electricity would be a good place to start.  He wants to enhance not break the strong family and communal  culture of India.

I can hear Mother Theresa saying, “Good work, Bappi!”
