Posted June 12, 200619 yr Canada.com: Bamboo, a 30-second melody, was composed by New York-based Nadir Khayat and Bilal Hajji, two unknowns poised to have a worldwide hit. Khayat's name also shows up in the unconfirmed writing credits for Britney Spears' upcoming album (whenever that is), so he might have a knack for this pop-hook stuff.
