Salim-Sulaiman to compose FIFA World Cup anthem

Tuesday, May 25, 2010, 12:33 [IST]
India has reached the global stage and we are being recognised for not just the land we come from but also for the music we make. In a feat that no Indian has achieved before, the music composer duo Salim- Sulaiman were invited to compose the anthem for the upcoming FIFA World Cup.

If that wasn't enough, the duo will also open and close the football tournament in South Africa that commences on June 11 and goes on till July 11.

Adding to the plurastic sound, R&B artist Loyiso Vincent Bala, who is Nelson Mandela's favourite artist, and Kenyan singer Eric Waninaner will perform alongside the brothers.

In the past, Salim-Sulaiman had composed the popular track 'Chak De! India' which had almost become like an anthem while the T20 matches were on. The two composers seemed visibly ecstatic with the honour to compose anthem for FIFA.

play anything and anyhow it will become song/music or even drama. Go ahead. All accepted. Apeasement, appeasement, appeasement.

'Wavin Flag' by K'naan is the anthem for FIFA WC. But for last week it's not been shown on ESPn or Star sports. It seems something is wrong.

The FIFA World Cup 2010 anthem is waving flag by knaan and this was selected about one month ago. How the hell does a news site not know about this?

I think there is a FIFA world cup anthem. Wave your Flag. More crap reporting from Indian news sources.
