There's a young girl who I work with (young = 22). She's an Indian, born in America, who listens almost exclusively to Indian music. OF course, one day we got talking about music and I let her borrow a couple of Cornershop CDs.

She liked them and burned me some Asha Bhosle stuff.

Well, today she gave me a comp she made of Sonu Niigaam and I gotta say, it's pretty cool.

It's more Westernized than Asha Bhosle's music, but still very Indian, for the most part. Occasional hip-hop beats and guitars thru Marshall stacks... but definately Indian.


Any of y'all know his music?
Impressions?
Billy?
Anyone?

So... not much interest in Indian music, huh?

Im Indian and I dont really like the pop music they make. not that its bad, it just doesnt interest me.

Well this has some hip-hop and hard rock elements and it's pretty cool. Check it out, you never know...

[montythemongoose]I know Phil (epa) distances from his ancestral culture (for the most part), but I still think he should refer to his erections as Bollywood.[/montythemongoose]

dammit when are they coming out with another album? oof.

A bump of an old thread, because I'm listening again today and it is feggin' cool.

Highly recommend his stuff.

RIYL: Cornershop, Beck, David Byrne

It's pretty damn cheezy, but the music is good, like I said.
