Popular singer-composer Bappi Lahiri will be conferred the Lifetime Achievement Award at the San Francisco Global Movie Fest scheduled to be held from August 7-14.
Bappi, who popularized the use of synthesized disco music in Indian cinema, said such “adulation” keeps veterans like him “alive and going”.
“It feels great when the audiences love you. It is this adulation that keeps us alive and going. (I am) Eagerly looking forward to the San Francisco Global Movie Fest this August,” the Disco King said in a statement.
The singer behind superhit songs like ‘I am a disco dancer’, ‘Koi yaahan aaha nache nache’, ‘Dil mein ho tum’ and ‘Ooh la la’ from Vidya Balan starrer ‘The Dirty Picture’, will also create a buzz for his latest album ‘Slumstars’.
“I have been in Mumbai for 36 years and ‘Slumstars’ is my tribute to little children with fire in their heart and melody on their lips,” he added.
