Rajkot (Gujarat), Aug 6 (ANI): A music director duo has composed a Gujarati version of Shakira's song 'The Bamboo Version' of 'Hips Don't Lie' on original video.

Rajkot-based Tapasvi Studio's music directors Utpal J. Jivrajani and Sailesh have created a remake of Shakira's song video, putting Gujarati lip syncs.

Inspired by Shakira's performance at the closing ceremony of the FIFA World Cup 2006 in Berlin , Germany, the duo composed a regional version of it titled 'Khambhoa', which means "a can of wine".

Songs that have lyrics about liquor are in demand in North Gujarat and in the tribal areas of East Gujarat. Therefore, the music composers decided to write words related to liquor in colloquial language.

Jivrajani said the tribal women's dance steps after consuming the local brew resemble those unique to Shakira.

"Regional liquor is in vogue among the tribals of North Gujarat. There are many possibilities of reforming the male, but there is nothing for women. So, I thought of making a female sing and this was the only song," said Jivrajani.

Jivrajani has also lent his voice to the composition along with playback singer Anita Fernandes.

"I heard the song 20 to 25 times and tried to understand the style and rhythm in which she (Shakira) sang. The lyrics are also intoxicating, and I was asked to sing it like a drunkard. It was tough to sing the song," said Fernandes.

Before the formal release of the video, it was entered on YouTube, a video sharing website.

The response to the music has been tremendous. The music directors are now planning to bring out a video album with Gujarati artists.

The Colombian star, an international hit as much for her dance moves as her singing abilities in numbers like 'Whenever Wherever' and 'Hips Don't Lie', had performed in Mumbai in March as part of her international 'Oral Fixation' tour. (ANI)
