I'm just getting out of a full year listening to almost no other new music than Bollywood's; watching the movies picking up my favorites tunes. It all strarted with the masterpiece Taal (by Subash Ghai, music AR Rahman). Now among my favorites for music, we have Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (mid 90's but quite trad. by Jatin-Lalit), Ram Lakan (early 90's the great Laxmikant-Pyarelal), Coolie (early 80's, also L-P), Noorie (forgot about dates & composers), and the wonderful Jis Desh Mein Ganga Bethi Hai (mid 60's pure trad.) But other examples are unnumerable (like late N.F.A. Khan's apparition in a song of Aur Pyar Ho Gaya close before his death, or the famous disco tune Dum Maro Dum from Hare Krishna Hare Ram). In the meanwhile, Bollywood is emerging ever more, here in France and I just _love_ this. Cheap rental or buying (yes, indian groceries are amazing places) of a jollyfull 3 hours masala film with up to an hours of singing and dancing is the best price ratio you'll get from any mass culture business. Also check other kind of indan music like brass bands (CD Les fanfares du Rajastan) and also Bollywood Brass Band, remixes from the great Bally Sagoo (bangra and all styles) and Apache Indian (bangramuffin), wedding songs, ghazals (sung poetry), sufi songs and more and more and much much more. And now that I start back again listening some other kind of musics when seeking for novelty, at last dicovering your blog, well what are you talking us about? Well thanks so much, at least it gave me an occasion to post very early after the discovery ;-) Next time -very soon- I promiss I'm going to post about my favorite US bands, and like Antibalas from who you already talked they are not out of the spot of your web wonder!

A great example of breaking down the barrier between reality and fiction! Someone put it up on <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=oKWikW11xCQ" rel="nofollow">youtube</a>.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is awesome. These people are awesome (Barney, get out of this body). Hugues used to have a choregraphy over a scene, but of course if you ask he'll deny. I saw a documentary on Bachchan, this guy is basically a god. Great tracks, by the way. Ouch.
