HSM2 Songs Goes Multicultural

Seventeen renditions of songs from Disney Channel's HighSchool Musical 2, performed in multiple languages by recording artists from around the world, will be presented this Friday during a special programming event on the network, officials said Monday.

The music videos have been airing on each country's local Disney Channel.

The day-long event begins with a 16-episode marathon of Disney's Hannah Montana, from noon to 8 p.m., and leads into a telecast of High School Musical 2 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Miley Cyrus, star of Hannah Montana, is also seen in a cameo role during the final sequence of High School Musical 2.

Throughout High School Musical 2, highlights and star interviews from the movie's European red-carpet premiere event will be featured.

The telefilm’s premiere Aug. 17 and subsequent airing in the week that followed made HSM2 the most-watched show in cable history.
