The 65th Cannes International Film Festival has already begun and and India will be represented by four films namely Miss Lovely, Peddlers, Gangs of Wasseypur and Kalpana. But, this time around we���������ll get to see Punjabi flavor as well at Cannes. Jasbir Jassi will be performing at Cannes, becoming the first Punjabi singer to perform at the this Film Festival.
Though last year Jasbir Jassi debuted at the Cannes Film Festival as a guest to promote his Punjabi film Khushiyaan. This year he has been chosen by the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) to perform at the Incredible India theme party.
To quote the singer, ���������I have always wanted to make my presence felt in the global music arena and this is a turning point. I want to tell people that our music is unmatched and we can touch hearts by singing songs with just a harmonium as an accompaniment.���������
Jasbir Jassi will be accompanied by six musicians and all of them will be dressed in traditional Punjabi Phulkari outfits designed by Harinder Singh, owner of the store 1469.
