PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad – Dwayne Bravo, former West Indies captain and Trinidad and Tobago cricket all-rounder, launched an Anglo-Indian fusion song with local crossover performer Nisha B on Thursday, March 26th at the Queen’s Park Oval.
The song entitled “Chalo! Chalo!” (which translates to “Let’s go! Let’s go” in Hindi) is an up-tempo piece with international appeal that is anticipated to be widely popular both in the Caribbean region and in India. It will be launched during the athlete’s India Premier League (IPL) campaign.
The media launch marked Bravo’s commitment to an off-the-pitch dream of becoming a serious player in the music industry.
Having previously dabbled in music with longtime friend and Jamaican dancehall legend Beenie Man, Bravo now has his eyes set on the global marketing and distribution of Chalo! Chalo! and the eventual production of a full album which will feature collaborations with well established artistes.
Speaking at Thursday’s launch, Indian High Commissioner to Trinidad and Tobago His Excellency Mr. Gauri Shankar Gupta expressed his pride and delight in Bravo’s latest effort, highlighting the opportunity for cultural exchange between the two cricket nations.
Bravo has already received local and international acclaim, particularly with many fans eager to enjoy the piece during IPL’s entertainment portions of the tournament.
Bravo left for India on Tuesday, March 31 and looks forward to another successful round of international cricket.
