Cardi B recently revealed a new song titled Bongos, a collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion. This track marks their first joint release since WAP in 2020 which was a major hit. Bongos is scheduled to drop this Friday, September 8. However, it was Cardi B's announcement video featuring Lata Mangeshkar's Kaliyon Ka Chaman that stirred up excitement among Indians.
What
- So, on September 4, Cardi B uploaded a video on her X (Twitter) handle, in which she said, "I got an announcement to make tomorrow."
- The announcement, turns out, was her latest song. But here's the thing. In that announcement video, Kaliyon Ka Chaman played in the background. Yes, from the 1981 film Jyoti. Yes, the one sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Bappi Lahiri.
- Now, the song made Cardi B fans, especially Indians, go crazy and a little shocked and amazed.
Here's the video:

However, as far as we can understand, the song sounds like the remix version, which was also once viral on Instagram (and defined an entire era of Bollywood remixes, back in the early 2000s).
X (Twitter) users react
Cardi's announcement video went viral, with more than 6.5 million views. However, fans wanted confirmation to ensure they could believe what they were hearing!

- It seems that Cardi B has developed an appreciation for various Indian elements. Recently, she was spotted wearing Indian designer Gaurav Gupta's creations on two occasions.
- The most recent one was during Paris Couture Week when she donned an outfit from Gaurav Gupta's Veda collection.
