Jermaine Jackson in Mumbai, India to Record Michael Jackson Tribute with Adnan Sami

Jermaine Jackson and Adnan Sami will record “Go Mumbai City” in Mumbai, India

Jermaine Jackson, Michael Jackson’s brother, is in India to record a tribute to Michael Jackson with Pakistani singer Adnan Sami, called “Go Mumbai City.”

Last Friday, Jermaine Jackson, who arrived in India with his wife Halima, commenced collaboration on “Go Mumbai City” with Adnan Sami.

After an exciting day in Mumbai’s T Series recording studio, Adnan Sami said, “It has been an exhausting but amazing time since Jermaine Jackson arrived. That’s why I didn’t make any announcements about Jermaine Jackson’s arrival. I didn’t want to sound premature in my excitement since Jermaine Jackson had visa issues and his arrival in Mumbai was uncertain till the last minute.”

Adnan Sami and Jermaine Jackson have teamed up to record a tribute called “Go Mumbai City.” “It will be part of an album we’ve been working on for two years, long before Michael Jackson’s death. Jermaine Jackson loves India and Mumbai. I could’ve easily joined him in Los Angeles to record the song. But Jermaine Jackson insisted on coming down.”

Jermaine Jackson visits Mumbai, India

Adnan Sami is eager to show Jermaine Jackson around Mumbai, India. “After the recording is over we’re going to Chowpatty and all the other hot spots of Mumbai. Jermaine Jackson loves Indian food. But he doesn’t want to have the 5-star stuff. He wants to taste the pao-bhaji, paani-puri, bhelpuri, batata-vada and all the street-slurps.”

Jermaine Jackson and Adnan Sami will also visit the Taj Mahal. “We’ll visit the Taj and Fatehpur Sikri where, as you know, Tansen once sang. I’d have loved him to stay in my house. But, I thought a hotel would be more comfortable for Jermaine and Halima. I’m bowled over by his humility and his hunger to learn and know about Indian culture. His down-to-earth nature reminds me of Mr Bachchan.”

Adnan Sami planned a luxurious dinner party at his residence in Jermaine Jackson’s honor. While at Adnan Sami’s home, Jermaine Jackson had the opportunity to listen to Adnan’s music and loved it. The Jermaine-Adnan album will be marketed in India by T Series and internationally on Jermaine Jackson’s label. “T series re-revamped their entire studio and equipment for Jermaine Jackson’s recording,” says Adnan. “We’re doing two songs together, one of them a tribute to Mumbai and its unstoppable energy.”

Adnan Sami added, “My son had a problem when Jermaine Jackson came home. He has two dogs named after Elvis Presley and MJ. ‘How can we call ‘MJ’ when Uncle Jermaine Jackson is around?’ I tried to convince him that the name was a tribute to MJ. But my son refused to call out our canine’s name while Jermaine Jackson was around.”
