New Delhi: After the success of the first edition of Zing Fan Jam on World Music Day last year, Zing is back with - 'Zing Fan Jam Level 2’. The channel has roped in Bollywood singer & pop sensation Arjun Kanungo and gave an opportunity to two of his biggest fans to jam alongside him and feature in a music video.
Riding the Hallyu wave, earlier this year Zing introduced K-Dramas dubbed in Hindi for their viewers. The theme this year brings together the music of India and Korea. "With the rising popularity of K-Pop & K-Dramas in India, this theme seemed the most apt for the ultimate fusion of the year," it said in a statement. “The talented fans across the country got a golden chance to impress Arjun by participating in the activity where they performed, recorded, and shared a singing video. The top two fans got a chance to get featured in this video along with Arjun."
The cover comprises a Hindi song with a strong Korean touch. It will be telecasted on the channel throughout the day on 21 June and will be uploaded on the channel’s YouTube and social media pages.
ZEEL, deputy business head, music cluster, Pankaj Balhara said, “Zing Fan Jam received a great response last year from all our fans and followers. This year we take the World Music Day celebrations a notch higher by not just roping in Arjun Kanungo, who is a Pop sensation in India along with being a multi-talented singer, but also keep up with the current trends by adding a Korean Twist to the cover. While the thought of uniting fans and musicians to collectively celebrate music prevails, the celebrations are also more customized and personalized. Keeping up with the K-raze, fans will surely enjoy this ultimate fusion.”
Singer Arjun Kanungo said, "The concept of Zing Fan Jam is really very interesting as it's a unique way to connect with my fans. This was a memorable experience for me. Music is an integral part of our lives and during these trying times, it's been a constant companion and has helped us to sail during these times. I hope through this project; we will be able to spread the cheer all over again. I am happy to be celebrating World Music Day with Zing and my fans.”
