Featured artist: Usha Uthup[6.30 mon]

Namaskar.

From Overseas India is a Hindi program on FM COCOLO broadcasting on Monday in every two weeks from 8 to 9 P.M. hosted by DJ Sunny Francis.

In this week's edition of the program, Sunny picks-up Usha Uthup as fearued artist. Usha Uthup is a female singer who is still active at 77 years old. She has a cool deep voice and has been active in Bollywood since the 70s. She has won a Filmfare Award and has also been awarded the Padma Shri by the Indian government.

Of course, she is a good singer no matter what song she sings, but she is especially suited to the songs of R D Burman and Bappi Lahiri!

We look forward to receiving messages. If you have something you would like to ask Sunny or say to him, please send it to us on the FM COCOLO homepage!

今週の番組では、77歳を迎えてなお現役の女性シンガーUsha Uthupを特集します。低めの深い声がとても格好良い彼女は70年代からボリウッドで活躍、Filmfare Awardも受賞しているほか、インド政府からパドマ・シュリー勲章も授与されています。

もちろんどんな歌を歌っても上手いシンガーではあるのですが、R D BurmanやBappi Lahiriのイケイケソングとの相性は抜群です！

番組ではリスナーの皆さんからのメッセージをお待ちしています。サニーに聞きたいこと、言いたいことがおありの方は、FM COCOLOのホームページからお送りください！
