Rockstar DSP's Pusha Song Daakko Daakko Meka Rules America's Got Talent
Last Updated: B Unique Crew set AGT stage ablaze with a high-energy act to Rockstar DSP's Daakko Daakko Meka, winning hearts and celebrating Indian music globally. Rockstar DSP's hit track Daakko Daakko Meka from Pushpa has made it to America's Got Talent. India's B Unique Crew delivered a powerful performance that wowed the judges and audience alike. Just days after the music maestro celebrated his birthday, this electrifying tribute felt like an unexpected gift—one that echoed far beyond borders. The energetic performance awakened the unbridled energy of DSP's music and opened another page in his expanding global sojourn. His compositions, previously limited to Indian films, are today heard and enjoyed on other continents. A Global Birthday Surprise For Rockstar DSP The recent performance at America's Got Talent wasn't planned as a birthday tribute, but it felt like the perfect one. As the crew danced to Daakko Daakko Meka, it served as a testament to how DSP's soundtracks have gone beyond language barriers, geographical territories, and cultural fences. DSP's Third International Stage Appearance This was not the first instance when Rockstar DSP's songs were making waves worldwide. Actually, it was the third instance when his songs illuminated worldwide platforms. Earlier in 2018, Team Shraey Khanna performed DSP's Sundari (from Khaidi No 150) on Showtime at Apollo, which was hosted by Steve Harvey. Soon thereafter, The Kings also left audiences spellbound on World of Dance with Aadevadanna Eedevadanna from Sardar Gabbar Singh. B Unique Crew has now added their names to the list, thus ensuring DSP's music is a regular feature on global platforms. Three diverse groups. Three scintillating performances. And three distinct tracks—each reflecting the unique flavor of DSP's musical talent. Indian Music Takes Global Spotlight The composer's popularity reaches beyond Indian shores. His music is not only performed—his music is being admired and even duplicated. A good case in point is Oo Antava, copied by a foreign artist recently, showcasing DSP's impact on global music circles. Whereas Indian artists have tended to borrow from Western aesthetics, Rockstar DSP has apparently turned things around. His work is now influencing the West, reversing the direction of the flow of influence. The B Unique Crew's act on AGT is more than a source of personal pride for DSP. It's a testament to Indian music and dance's international ascendance. As one of the handful of Indian composers with such an extent, DSP's tunes demonstrate that music—when based on authenticity—doesn't require translation. It is not only a victory for DSP. It's a festival of Indian talent, of original soundscapes, and of creative genius that knows no borders. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Watch One of the ‘Best Acts of the Season' on ‘America's Got Talent's Final Night of Auditions
Watch One of the 'Best Acts of the Season' on 'America's Got Talent's Final Night of Auditions originally appeared on Parade. It was just last week that the dance troupe Unreal from India won the final Golden Buzzer for Season 20 of America's Got Talent. And this week, a second dance crew from India, B Unique Crew, took the AGT stage – and one of its members was revealed to be a former dancer from Unreal. 'We know there was the Unreal crew, and you gave them a Golden Buzzer,' a spokesperson for B Unique Crew told Howie Mandel. 'And I would also like to tell you that G2 was part of Unreal before. And he left Unreal and gathered us all. And now we are here to present this act on the biggest stage, America's Got Talent.' 🤩📺SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter & get the scoop on the latest TV news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🤩🎥 The spokesperson explained that this group was created to compete against Unreal, and that they were going to give it their all even though they are aware that there are no Golden Buzzers left for Season 20. 'We will do our best and we believe in ourselves,' he says. After their performance, Sofia Vergara tells them, 'This was one of the best, best acts of the season. You are taking Season 20 to the other level that we were saying. This was spectacular. It was surprising. It was very different. I've never seen anything on this stage like this.' Mel B says she couldn't agree with Sofia more, adding, 'It was unique and that timing you have to have on point. The head turnaround was a bit freaky, but you could all dance. It was perfect for me.' Then Howie adds, 'I love this job more than anything, but I've been looking over at the producers thing, going, 'I want to press it [Golden Buzzer],' and they're going, 'No, you can't press it.' I'm going, 'I want to press it.' And the boss says 'no.'' Related: Sofia chimes in, 'No, you can't. Then I want to press it.' Meanwhile, the audience is chanting, 'Golden Buzzer. Golden Buzzer.' Sofia explained to the guys, 'We're fighting because we want to give you a Golden Buzzer and they don't exist anymore.' Simon Cowell interrupted her to say, 'I wouldn't [give them a Golden Buzzer]. I tell you why. I think it was good. However, I just think that at the moment it just felt a little bit too small. I do think, on a live show with bigger production, this could be incredible. That's my opinion.' Even with that opinion, when the votes were tallied, it was four yeses for B Unique Crew, giving them the opportunity to go through to the Live Shows. America's Got Talent airs Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. Streams next day on Peacock.
