Official event song announced to celebrate T20 World Cup




MUMBAI: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced the official song for the ICC World Twenty20 Bangladesh 2014 (ICC WT20). ‘Char Chokka Hoi Hoi’ (roughly translates into ‘Fours, Sixes, Fun and Games’) has been composed by renowned singer and composer Fuad Al Muktadir. Written by Anam Biswas and Refayat Ahmed of Grey Dhaka, the official event song is sung by Dilshad Nahar Kona, Dilshad Karim Elita, Pantha Konai, Johan Alamgir, Sanvir Huda, Badhon Sarkar Puja and Kaushik Hossain Taposh, who will perform the song throughout the tournament.

Its lyrics are a mixture of Bangla and English, giving it a global feel.

The song is written in a way that fans from across the world are able to understand its basic essence and enjoy the music. The music video for the song celebrates the event and welcomes cricket fans to ‘the birthplace of colour and happiness’, complementing the fast-paced and peppy song.

The signature dance created especially for the music video features people from all walks of life in Bangladesh, highlighting the spirit of unity that cricket brings. The video has been shot in different locations, from rural settings to urban backgrounds, showcasing the diversity of the country, its undisturbed beauty, and friendly, helpful people. Discussing the idea behind the song, Fuad Al Muktadir said, “I wanted to make a song that really captures the mindset of cricket fans as they watch a game charged with adrenaline.

The official event song will be launched with university students in the three host cities (Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet) next week, with the aim of making it the most popular song among the youth in the country. University students in the three host cities will create their own dance videos based on the event song with the help of choreographers.
