India, Nov. 23 -- N ora Fatehi made her U.S. television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this week, performing What Do I Know? (Just A Girl) with Jamaican artiste Shenseea. The episode also featured Ed Sheeran and Cynthia Erivo. Speaking about the milestone, she says, "I have diversified my positioning as an artiste as part of going global. This is the right direction for me in this new phase of my career. I have always reinvented myself and will continue to do so with a more international presence while staying connected to Bollywood." Addressing misconceptions about global artistes in Indian cinema, she says, "People assume international artistes are brought in only for glamour or surface-level appearances. Writers and directors need to think beyond that and create multi-dimensional characters. Many performers, including myself, train hard, learn the language, understand the culture and want long-term careers here. Indian cinema is global now. artistes from different countries are not outsiders, they are collaborators." Nora says she is proud of contributing to the rise of Afro-Arab-Indian fusion in mainstream music. "I definitely see myself leading that movement. I was part of ushering in Afro music and Afro dance into commercial Bollywood. Pepeta did very well, and Dance Meri Rani became a massive success. Our recent Afro-Indo track Oh Mama Tetema, with Shreya Ghoshal and Rayvanny, is another big hit. It shows India is ready for more diversity in music and dance."...
