Archie Pena is impressed by Indian talent (TOI Photo)‘I'm bringing JLo, Ricky Martin, Gloria Estefan to Bollywood’
You may have ignored those children who play instruments on the train. But these ‘li'l nags’ have become a big source of inspiration to percussionist Archie Pena who has for Shakira, JLo, Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony and Gloria Estefan.
Wandering on the streets of Mumbai, Archie tell us, “There is so much talent here, it’s unbelievable. These children are so creative and make the most amazing music with the least resources. It not only proves that they are talented but also intelligent.”
Archie performed for the street children while he was down here to compose for an album - Pallavi - along with buddy Dhrubajit Gogoi. “I had an interactive session with them. I plan to come down here and do this more often.” Calling this initiative a Drum Clinic, Pena also has some Bollywood plans.
But it’s no secret anymore that Shakira is going to croon for a Bollywood flick. “India is a place of beautiful music. The passion is inspiring. Its multi-cultural quality only adds to it all. Yes, I have made some proposals, and when Shakira, JLo, Ricky, Gloria are going to hear about my plans, they are all going to come running down here. I’m going to get them all to Bollywood.”
And which of our actresses is he crazy about? “It has to be the girl with those big green eyes.” Aishwarya Rai? “Yes, that’s her. I’d like her to dance to my music,” says Archie.
