Bollywood composer Aadesh Shrivastava gets jiggy with RnB artist Kevin Wyre

Composer-singer Aadesh Shrivastava is back to work after recovering from cancer. He flew out of India a few weeks ago to perform at a concert in Nairobi -- his first performance after recovering. What has really gladdened the artist more is the fact that the concert, in which he sang a Swahili song, was a sell-out.

Speaking from Nairobi after the concert on July 29, Shrivastava said, "I didn't believe I had the confidence to be on my feet for several hours on stage. But I was fine. In fact, it was fab."

Shrivastava recorded a song in Swahili with Kenyan Reggae and Blues musician Kevin Wyre. "I don't know a word of Swahili! But what's that they say about music having no language? I sang a whole song in Swahili with Wyre. It was called Jamona u le mhambro, which means, 'You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.'

Exhausted after his trip to Kenya, Shrivastava has postponed his next trip to the United States to investigate the mysterious death of his brother Chitresh Shrivastava, who died in a car crash in Detroit, in May. "I've appointed a good lawyer to keep me posted about the FBI investigation into my brother's death. I won't rest easy until the truth is out."
