Qtel ropes in Hungama for Indian tracks

Doha, June 4, 2011

The Qatar Telecom group (Qtel) said it has tied up with Hungama Mobile to add over 50,000 top Bollywood and Asian tracks to the song catalogue on its mobile music service, Backstage.

Backstage customers in Qatar who have selected the Premium Package can automatically update their Backstage application and have immediate access to the Hungama catalogue, said a Qtel statement.

Alternatively, new customers can select the special Bollywood Package from Backstage for just QR15 ($4) a month, it added.

Qtel said the pioneering Hungama partnership will allow Backstage customers to download the latest hits from Indian and Bollywood content as well as Pakistani, Afghani and Tamil music genres. 

Top ten Bollywood hits including Dhinka Chika, from the album “Ready”, Pee Loon Hoto Ki Sargam from “Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai” and popular love song “Tere Mast Mast Do Nain” can now all be easily downloaded to a laptop or mobile with Backstage, it added.

Beside this, the Backstage offers unlimited music downloads for mobile phones and PCs, as well as privileged access to industry stars and music heroes.

With an easy subscription process via SMS, PC or WAP, and for a minimal flat-rate monthly fee, customers can enjoy unlimited downloads from a huge catalogue of international tracks.

Hungama Mobile’s content library includes hit music from films such as Tees Maar Khan, and Dabanng, as well as music from the films of leading superstars such as Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor, and Priyanka Chopra.

For English tracks, Backstage has partnered with Universal Music Group which has top names, including Lady Gaga, Akon, Justin Bieber, Enrique Iglesias, Black Eyed Peas, Mariah Carey, 50 Cent, Nelly Furtado, Stevie Wonder, Sting, and Kanye West in its list.

Backstage also offers unlimited access to two of the region’s most popular Arabic labels, Melody and Mazzika – which represent leading Arab artists including Amr Diab, Ragheb Alama, Haifa Wehbe, Myriam Fares, Abdallah El-Rweished, Angham and Asala.

Backstage is now available through Qtel in Qatar, Nawras in Oman and Wataniya in Kuwait, with a forthcoming launch in Indonesia – including local music listings – planned for the summer of 2011, the Qtel statement added.-TradeArabia News Service
