Kishore Kumar Top 20 songs from the LEGEND

Chalte Chalte
Dil Kya Kare
Dukhi Man Mere
Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si
Gun Guna Rahe Hain Bhavre
Hame Aur Jene Ki Chahat Na Hoti (Agar Tum Na Hote)
Hamen Tumse Pyaar Kitna
Hum Dono Do Premi
Hum Hain Raahi Pyaar Ke
Intaha Ho Gayi
Jeevan Ke Safar Mein Rahi
Kiska Rasta Dekhe
Koi Humdum Na Raha
Koi Lauta De Mere (door gagan ki chahon mein)
O Mere Dil Ke Chain
Phoolon Ka Taron ka (hare rama hare krishna)
Ye Shaam Mastani
Yeh Dil Na Hota Bechaara
Zindagi Ek Safar Ho Suhana
Zindagi Ka Safar

USTAD SULTAN KHAN & ZAKIR HUSSAIN - Tabla & Sarangi Virtuoso - Raag Jait

This album, beyond being a highly respectable and decent rendition of Raag Jait is, in my humble opinion, one of the most exhilarating recorded performances of Zakir Hussain ever. (And I might add that I have seen him live 5 times.) This album, as I was saying, besides containing a great duo performance of Raag Jait, is an astonishingly clear and beautiful recording. The sound of the Tabla, combined with the sheer brilliance and inspiration of Zakir -of course following every nuance of the Lehara stream that Sultanji provides- is a display of sound as is a pyrotechnic show against a deep black night sky over the ocean. The balance, clarity and almost pristine purity of the instruments voice is simply breathtaking. The kind and spontaneous Illustration on the basic elements and structure of a Tabla solo is also a nice feature to take into account. And the solo following its Illustration is just on the very edge of rhythmic wizardy and the possibilities of Zakir's hands on the Tabla. Recommended and acclaimed as one of the most exciting and well recorded albums featuring the Tabla ever. P1 P2 Enjoy!

Budhaditya Mukherjee - The Blossoming Glory of Raag Suddha Sarang

Budhaditya Mukherjee (1955–) is a Hindustani classical sitar and surbahar player of the Imdadkhani Gharana (school). He was taught by his father Bimalendu Mukherjee from the age of 5, and started making a name for himself at a young age. In 1970, he won two national-level music competitions, and soon after was famously endorsed in glowing terms first by film maker Satyajit Ray and then South Indian veena great Balachander, who proclaimed him "sitar artist of the century". In 1975, Budhaditya became a grade A artist with All India Radio (he was promoted to top grade in 1986). Since then, he has become an established sitarist, known for virtuosity, speed and precision. Mukherjee has toured the world extensively, giving concerts in over 25 countries, and from 1983 and 1995, respectively, taught from time to time at the Istituto Interculturale di Studi Musicali Comparati in Venice and the Rotterdam Conservatory. He has also recorded widely, and at the age of 47, his discography spanned exactly 47 CDs, LPs and cassettes. In 1995, he started recording on the surbahar (bass sitar), first as a two-part series (Brilliance of Sound) for Beethoven Records in Kolkata (ragas Yaman and Marwa), then raga Komal re Asavari for RPG/HMV on Tribute to My Father, My Guru (STCS 850362). In 2003, he was the first Indian classical musician to have an enhanced CD published: Thumriyan (RCD-2224), on Bengali label Rhyme Records in Kansas, containing ragas Piloo and Bhairavi.

Ustad Sultan Khan & Anuradha Pal - Raag Marwa

Ustad Sultan Khan is a maestro on the sarangi, a bowed instrument with a unique, viola-like, harmonically complex tone due to 35 to 40 sympathetic strings running under the three playing strings. Raga Marwa is played at dusk and conjures up the introverted calm and contemplative mood of that hour. Bhairavi, with its feeling of 'sweet sadness', is played here in a devotional mood, and Sultan Khan develops the melody with great lyricism and delicacy.

The first & only female professional Tabla player in the world (according to the Limca Book of records,1991), Anuradha Pal stormed into the music world with her extraordinary concert performances as a ‘child prodigy’ when she was barely ten & a half years old. Performing a rare blend of diverse styles of Tabla soloing & accompanying the virtual who’s who of Indian classical music, Anuradha has also extensively performed with African, Jazz & World Music musicians in major festivals in U.K, USA, Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore & Africa.

Single minded dedication and an over riding hunger for musical excellence backed by excellent training from her Gurus, Tabla legends Ustads Alla Rakha & Zakir Hussain & the guidance of great musicians & her accomplished parents Devinder & Ilaa Dev Pal, have established Anuradha Pal as one of the ’30 leading Women of India’ & ‘a percussionist par excellence’(India Today 2006)

Clarity & tonal balance, pinpoint precision in rhythm & an amazing repertoire spiced with creativity & spontaneity have made Anuradha Pal ‘the most creative & influential female musician of Indian classical music’ according to the A. V Max Music Magazine, May 2001.

Anuradha is the only Indian woman musician & the youngest Indian musician to perform in the world renowned WOMAD festival in UK to an audience of 1.5 lakh people in 1999. She has the unique distinction of performing for dignitaries like the Queen of England, Prime Minister & President of India.

Music Direction- Anuradha Pal is the founder and music director of two distinct music groups ‘Stree Shakti’ (1996) & ‘Recharge’(2006) Anuradha Pal’s ‘Stree Shakti’ is Asia’s much acclaimed only all female, percussion-based, instrumental and vocal fusion group whereas Anuradha Pal’s Recharge is a unique World music fusion group combining various elements of Indian, African, Latin and Jazz music. Anuradha gave the background score in the acclaimed M.F Husain film ‘Gaja Gamini’ in 1999, which won tremendous acclaim in the Cannes Film Festival.

A recipient of several important awards, Anuradha was given the ‘Sanskrutic Puraskar’, the highest cultural award by the State of Maharashtra in 2006. She has been appreciated by the prestigious Encyclopedia Britannica, Asian-American/ Indo American Who’s who journal & "Influential people of the world’ journal for ’her well balanced musicianship & pioneering contribution as a trail blazer and trend setter for societies around the world."

Hariprasad Chaurasia - The Living Legend of Bansuri Live Vol. I

Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia (born July 1, 1938) is known internationally as a player of the bansuri, the North Indian bamboo flute. Chaurasia is a classicist who has made a conscious effort to reach out and expand the audience for classical music. Chaurasia was born in Allahabad in a non musical family. His father was a wrestler. His mother died when he was four. Hariprasad had to learn music almost in secret, scared of the father who wanted him to become a wrestler. He did go to the Akhada and train with his father for some time, although he also started learning music in secret, and practicing in his friend's house. He has credited this wrestling training for giving him the immense stamina and lung power that are the hallmarks of his flute playing, stating that, "I was not any good at wrestling. I went there only to please my father. But maybe because of the strength and stamina I built up then, I'm able to play the bansuri even to this day." Chaurasia started learning vocal music from his neighbour, Pandit Rajaram at the age of 15. Later, he switched to playing the flute under the tutelage of Panditt Bholanath of Varanasi. Much later, while working for All India Radio, he received guidance from the reclusive Annapurna Devi, (daughter of Baba Allaudin Khan). He is considered a rare combination of innovator and traditionalist. He has expanded the expressive possibilities of the bansuri through his masterful blowing technique. Apart from classical music, he has made a mark as a Hindi language film music director along with Pt. Shivkumar Sharma, forming a group called Shiv-Hari. He has also collaborated with various world musicians in experimental cross-cultural performances, including the fusion group Shakti. He serves as the Artistic Director of the World Music Department at the Rotterdam Music Conservatory in the Netherlands. He has collaborated with several western musicians, including John McLaughlin and Jan Gabarek, and has also composed music for a number of Indian films. He has performed throughout the world winning acclaim from varied audiences and fellow musicians including Yehudi Menuhin and Jean Pierre Rampal.

Zakir Hussain & Ustad Alla Rakha - Tabla Duet

Recorded live in Calcutta in January of 1991, Tabla Duet features the late Ustad Alla Rakha and his son, Ustad Zakir Hussain. Accompanied by Ramesh Misra on a sarangi -- a bowed lute that has both melodic and sympathetic strings -- this eminent duo develops innumerable variations within tintal, a 16-beat rhythmic cycle. For over an hour the pair establish themes, improvise upon them, and confidently venture out way beyond the usual limits of temporal terra firma. Ustad Alla Rakha begins the performance with the weaving of a peshkar, a kind of rhythmic improvisation that opens traditional tabla solos. Ustad Alla Rakha combines kaidas (improvisations on a fixed theme) with relas (faster improvisations) in the development of his peshkar. At this point Ustad Zakir Hussain takes the tabla baton and runs with it, adding variations of timbre and form to his father's manifestations. From there the father and son exchange improvisations, swell into perfectly coordinated cadences, and manifest a number of traditional classical compositions. Tabla Duet is not a CD for the regressive listener. Those who would rather passively absorb the banal beats of a typical pop band than actively listen to the development of sophisticated rhythmic dialogues should avoid this CD. This is not to say that Tabla Duet is only suitable for rhythm junkies and drum circle fanatics. In actuality, Tabla Duet is a CD for anyone who seeks out musics that reflect collaborations of the highest caliber.

Zakir Hussain - The Best of Zakir Hussain

A child prodigy, Zakir was touring by the age of twelve. Zakir went to the United States in 1970, embarking on an international career which includes no fewer than 150 concert dates a year. He has composed and recorded many albums and soundtracks, and has received widespread recognition as a composer for his many ensembles and collaborations. He has composed soundtracks for the films In Custody and The Mystic Masseur directed by Ismail Merchant, Bernardo Bertolucci’s Little Buddha (for which Zakir composed, performed and acted as Indian music advisor), Vanaprastham (The Last Dance), chosen to be screened at the Cannes Film Festival in May, 1999, Saaz, and Everybody Says I'm Fine. Zakir received the distinct honor of co-composing the opening music for the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, 1996. He was commissioned to compose music for Alonzo King’s Lines Ballet, and to compose an original work for the San Francisco Jazz Festival, both in 1998. He has received numerous grants and awards, including participation in the Meet the Composer programs funded by the Pew Memorial Trust and an Izzie (Isadora Duncan Award) for his composition for Lines Ballet. In 2000, Zakir worked again with choreographer Alonzo King, this time composing music for The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. In 2002, his commissioned work for choreographer Mark Morris’ “Kolam” premiered as part of Yo Yo Ma’s “Silk Road Project” with Yo Yo and Zakir performing together live for the performance. In September, 2006, Triple Concerto for Banjo, Bass and Tabla, a piece co-composed by Zakir, Edgar Meyer and Bela Fleck, was performed by the trio with the Nashville Symphony at the gala opening of the Schermerhorn Symphony Hall in Nashville. Zakir reunited with choreographer Alonzo King in 2007 for Lines Ballet’s 25th anniversary celebration, creating acclaimed music for King’s new work, Rasa. Also in 2007, the government of India chose Zakir to compose an anthem to celebrate India’s 60th year of independence. The song, “Jai Hind”, has been recorded by an array of India’s finest classical vocalists and pop singers.

Tabla Beat Science - Tala Matrix

The rhythm of Indian music is geared to long cycles, often 16 beats. These recurring cycles are known as a tala. Each tala has a different point of emphasis, which can give rise to an almost limitless amount of possibilities. No wonder that Indian percussionists can study 16 hours a day for years and years in order to master the thousands of possible percussive patterns or what might be called 'the tala matrix.' Take an Indian tabla master like Zakir Hussain or Talvin Singh. Theoretically, they could play more rhythmic talas than any drum machine is capable of. What if you pushed the tabla out in front of the audio mix so that they essentially became the extroverted soloistthen filled in the supporting players with a combination of traditional Indian drone and with a collection of ambient musical sculptures a la Bill Laswell? You would have the group known as Tabla Beat Science. The material on Tala Matrix ranges from the very traditional to very modern ambient world fusion. There is the classical sounding "Devotional," featuring sarangi and vocal by Ustad Sultan Khan with just a hint of rhythmic augmentation from Bill Laswell. At the other end of the spectrum, there's the modern deejay club remix "Triangular Objects." Call it Indian-house-music. Contributions by the different members of Tabla Beat Science pull the tala matrix in many different directions. Karsh Kale moves to the deejay underground. Zakir Hussain moves along the more traditional routes of Indian music, yet he's strong enough to focus the most far-out ambient-trance sounds that Bill Laswell can come up with. Percussionist Trilok Gurtu contributes "Big Brother," a dance track on which he plays both tabla and drums. Talvin Singh contributes two tracks, "Don't worry.Com" and "Triangular Objects", which are in the 'future groove' vein. Tala Matrix is an adventurous blend of Indian groove music that should find its most enthusiastic audience among young dance-oriented people whether they live in Bombay, London or New York

VA - Sitar Beat! Indian Style Heavy Funk Vol. 2

Following the success of the first Sitar Beat compilation CD, a collection of Indian and Indian-inspried European funky selections from the 60s and 70s, the crew knew they had to come deep for the sequel. So for Volume 2,

they go straight to heart of India with some of the rarest, and best tracks recorded between the years of 1970 and 1984. Nearly all of these tracks are appearing on CD for the first time. Sixteen tracks of rare and funky Indian flavor, blending heavy beats with the sounds of the sitar and the inimitable vocal sounds of beloved Indian singers such as the ubiquitous Asha Bhosle and producers/songwriters like Kalyanji Ananji and R. D. Burman. Most of the tracks are culled from Bollywood sound tracks from the 70s and early 80s. Enormously popular, often wild and packed with action and romance, these films put the intense music of star composers like Burman and Kalyanji & Anandji at the forefront. The strange, psychedelic sounds possess their own cultural mish-mash of flavors combining traditional Indian instrumentation and melodies with film music s intensity, and incorporating styles from American/Western music from about 5 years or so behind the trend. All this to say expect funk, psychedelic rock, disco and proto-electro to jump out from the grooves of Sitar Beat Volume 2 and hit you harder than a mouth full of spicy masala. This is soul from the Sub-continent at it s best!

Track List:
1. Babla And His Orchestra - The Witness

3. S.D. Narang - Everybody Dance With Me

World Network Vol. 1: India Shivkumar Sharma & Zakir Hussain

The WorldNetwork collection is produced in close cooperation between Germany's largest broadcasting company WDR (West German Radio & Television) and NETWORK.

Since its inception, the WDR has committed itself to inviting great artists from all over the world to record at its Cologne studios. When this wasn't possible or feasible, recordings were made directly on location. The best sound technicians have spared no effort to record these unique musical moments live: without overdubbing, multi-tracking or other cosmetic effects. Christian Scholze and Jean Trouillet have selected, together with Jan Reichow, the most outstanding concert, festival and studio recordings from decades of archive material to create this unique collection. Over the past years, Network, in collaboration with the WDR, has made local recordings, among others, in Senegal, Australia, Cuba, Brazil and Uzbekistan. Many CDs in this collection have received national and international record awards. The jury of the International Phonographic Award explained their decision: "Recordings from four continents, interpreted in high quality by singers and instrumentalists who, although receptive to new sources of inspiration, are nevertheless deeply rooted in the tradition of their culture and have not adapted to current trends: these recordings in the WorldNetwork collection illustrate the diversity of a predominantly non-commercial world-music of extraordinary quality."
Shivkumar Sharma, the great santur virtuoso, weighs every note he plays with infinitesimal care. The santur is known to us in Europe as the cimbalon. As if free of gravity’s fetters, Sharma hovers over the hundred strings of his instrument to create sounds of dazzling beauty, ranging from meditative calm to complex, percussive whirlwind passages. He is accompanied by India’s legendary tabla player, Zakir Hussain. Hussain achieved renown as a classical artist at an early age. In later years he went on to experiment with many other musical genres including famed jam sessions with many jazz and rock stars. Before Shivkumar Sharma, no one considered it possible to perform classical music on the santur. His sensitive and virtuoso playing has all but dispelled this hollow notion. To date, however, no one has emerged to rival Sharma – for the instrument was long known only in folk music.

Excellent musicianship combined with an intriguing and unusual repertoire to make this a fascinating project. - Ken Hunt

India - the greatest songs ever

Home to over one billion cow-loving folks, India is not the best place to order Steak Diane.

But when it’s not playing havoc with delicate Western stomachs, India produces some of the world’s most entrancing music. India’s musical heritage has long inspired and been shamelessly pilfered by the likes of The Beatles and Madonna. India The Greatest Songs Ever reverses this outflow of talent, borrowing Western club beats to transform the traditional musical styles of India into late night prayers for disco trash like you and me. India The Greatest Songs Ever serves an aural feast of richly flavoured sounds and textures, coating your listening palate with a heady, intoxicating taste. It’s a musical masala of sounds ranging from the spiraling vocals of Qawwali, the devotional music of Sufism, to the pulsating beat of tabla and dhol percussion. Forget the greasy tasteless offerings of fast food Western musos. Like a fiery vindaloo, India The Greatest Songs Ever assaults your senses, mixing pleasure with pain, leaving you gasping for water but wanting to taste more. Fun Da Mental’s “Ja Sha Taan” draws upon Qawwali’s rich vein of poetic imagery to deliver an ecstatic call of devotion infused by a pulsating electro-beat. As exhilarating as a Sufi dervish dancer, “Ja Sha Taan” quickens the pulse like a two hour of session of Bikram yoga or a trek up a Himalayan mountain. Lithe, yoga-stretched limbs are needed to keep pace with the energetic bhangra of Saqi’s “Sir Dukh Da”. Fusing folk bhangra with funkified-pop, Saqi cooks-up a tasty aural treat from the most unlikely of ingredients. Renowned Qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan brings his beautiful, subtle harmonies on “Tere Bin Nai Lagda”. As produced by UK club producers Partners in Crime, this Qawwali song of devotion becomes an electro-ballad to put Celine Dion to shame. Elsewhere, Bollywood’s finest songstress Lata Mangeshkar out divas the fattest of opera stars as she pins for lost souls on “Ae-Dil-E-Nadan”. Kumar Sanu also gets choked up and overwhelmed by love on “Ek Ladki Ko Dekha”, making tragic star-crossed lovers as sexy as a tight mini-skirt worn on svelte disco hips. India The Greatest Songs Ever samples the vast array of Indian musical tastes, satisfying the most sensitive of disco tummies without the risk of angina or a vicious bout of diarrhea. If only the same could be for the late-night Indian takeaways catering to clubbers that line Oxford Street. Source~Petrol Records.
The greatest Songs Ever' is a fairly broad statement, and not a very exacting one. Having said that, it is one of my favourite collections from the recent past. I play it a lot when we have a gathering of the clans- to share food and merriment. Some other reviews I have read on this collection, have actually made disparaging remarks with regards to track 9. Palmistry - Tabla Beat Science ( Bill Laswell, Zakir Hussain) As a lover of the tabla and a fan of Zakir Hussain- I found the comments jarring...but yes beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or in this case, music to the ear. Decide for your self.

Ravi shankar - The Sounds of India

Evoking that feeling of instant mastery is the point of The Sounds Of India, which is appropriately subtitled “An Introduction to Indian Music.” It holds out its hand to the ignorant and does its job well.

If Shankar didn’t set out to become emblematic of an entire culture’s sound, he at least set out to educate the West. The first track on this disc is a 4-minute primer on the rich structure of classical Indian music, which is not like classical music in the West. Haydn and Mozart probably never improvised during a single performance in their lives. Not so with Indian classical. The first thing you hear on the disc is a few plunks on a sitar, then the cascading of the strings, like a harp, and then Ravi Shankar says (this is a slightly edited transcription; the ellipses are musical interludes): “Ragas are precise melody forms. A raga is not a mere scale.... Nor is it a mood.... Each raga has its own ascending and descending movement.... The soloist does a free improvisation, known as Alap, after which he starts the theme based on a rhythmic framework known as Tala. He can choose from many Talas...” Some Talas, he explains, have 16 beats, some have 10. He demonstrates, actually counting the beats for the first few run-throughs, then just counting each time he comes back around to one. He shows how the rhythm gets faster and faster, showing off a little bit to wow the Western listener, for whom he has these words of advice: “The Western listener will appreciate and enjoy our music more if he listens with an open and relaxed mind without expecting to hear harmony, counterpoint or other elements prominent in western music. Neither should our music be thought of as akin to jazz, despite the improvisation and exciting rhythms present in both kinds of music.” But this is misleading. Why not explore those similarities? He did himself, later meeting and giving lessons to John Coltrane and Don Ellis, and composing music for Buddy Rich and John Handy. (Don’t we wish we had a disc of Miles or Bird explaining it all, breaking it down for us? On second thought, we probably don’t need it, because what those guys played was much less complicated than this.) Why not listen to it as we listen to jazz? I listen for a mood, an overarching theme, the microfelicities of the improvisations. He might be introducing us to this music, but we don’t have to obey him absolutely. This album came about in part from Shankar’s dismay over the ignorance of the West about Eastern music. He gained prominance, in part, from his work on the music for Satyajit Ray’s debut film “Pather Panchali,” a kind of Indian “400 Blows.” Much later, he won an Oscar for his work on Richard Attenborough’s “Gandhi.” In 1952, Shankar met the great violinist Yehudi Menuhin, who would say later that composers Georges Enesco and Bela Bartok and Shankar were the greatest musicians he had known. High praise indeed. Most important for the purposes of popular music, in 1966 Shankar met George Harrison. Shankar became famous in the West, even playing at the Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock. He obviously didn’t insulate himself from other music, but at the same time he desired Westerners to hear Indian music in a pure form. Which is what this disc gives us. The first full musical track, “Dadra,” is a moody but joyful synapse fryer. It starts out restrained, then lets loose. The tabla player follows Shankar, beating out a funky groove, if one can say this about Indian music. The second track, “Maru-Bihag,” is my favorite, sad, wise, forlorn, and hopeful. It begins with a 30-second explanation of the raga by Shankar. “Maru-Bihag” is described as an evening raga in the liner notes, and that just seems right, as if it would be perfect to listen to at sunset. It is followed by “Bhimpalasi,” which is preceded by another explanation. It is described as having “a mood of tenderness; the suppressed longing of a lover, but serene, with dignity, and yet throbbing with deep emotion.” OK, fine. The disc ends with “Sindhi-Bhairavi,” a morning raga, quiet without much from the tabla, the drum, or the tambura, the drone instrument. Indian music can put you in a meditative state, in the way that great literature can. It can put you in what novelist and theorist John Gardner called a “vivid and continuous dream,” which he called the highest ambition of art. But I’ve always disagreed with Gardner that that’s it. A great book, in my mind, will have sentences that call attention to themselves, and because we are adaptable, we get pleasure from those sentences and then are able to return to the dream. I think that art should call attention to itself, otherwise it’s just entertainment. And Shankar’s music, though bringing to the listener a very vivid and continuous dream, is enough of an artist to call attention to himself. He is such a genius that even the untrained ear (mine) can hear how wonderful it is, in the same way my ears heard what was so astonishing about Miles Davis for the first time. But those pleasures are often intellectual ones. What is so astonishing about Ravi Shankar’s music is that while it is endlessly fascinating from that standpoint, what matters most is that this is music that can make you happy and bring you to tears, sometimes in the same moment. --Scott Holden Smith Tracklist 1.

Ravi Shankar - At the Monterey International Pop Festival

This 1960s classic is a perfect introduction not only to Ravi Shankar's brilliant work on the sitar, but also to classical Indian music in general.

Shankar offers brief, informative explanations of Indian ragas, scales, rhythms, song structures, and time signatures to set the stage for each spiritual piece he, Chatur Lal (tabla), and N.C. Mullick (tamboura) perform. Though Western listeners may not be able intellectually to pinpoint the subtle purposes of the various ragas' rhythms and movements,

unconsciously listeners will feel them vividly. For instance, the plodding tension created by the 2/3/2/3 rhythm in "Máru-Bihág" well reflects the raga's poetic metaphor of separated, longing lovers. The loose, playful improvisation on "Sindhi-Bhairavi" mirrors the passionate romance of lovers. Overall, classical Indian music is diverse and complex, but The Sounds of India simplifies it beautifully for those interested in exploring it and its greatest ambassador. --Karen Karleski Tracklist 1.

Cafe Bombay

"simply the best Indian sampler to come along yet..." Okay, make yourself a cup of chai and get ready to start your musical day. This CAFE BOMBAY CD has really got under my skin and I have played it a lot in the last two months. The sequence and selection was done by a Scotsman formerly associated with Triple Earth Records, Iain Scott, and he has done a superb job, making this CD a joy to play over and over. It starts quietly and contemplatively and then gradually builds to a crescendo in the middle and then falls away again, like a busy day in Bombay (I imagine).

CAFE BOMBAY is simply the best Indian sampler to come along yet. It's set up as a day in the life of a dreamer who works in a café in Bombay. He hears various things from traditional flute and sitar to the film music of A.R. Rahman to grinding dance tracks, and the whole thing has a pleasant day-dream quality to it.
The collection only has a couple of familiar tracks and basically charts new territory, unlike the scads of second-rate Bhangra compilations which all start to sound the same after a while. The packaging is very handsome and makes me keen to check out the other discs in the Cafe series. Though the cover says it contains "track by track commentary," these notes are like prose poems, discussing the comings-and-goings in the imaginary cafe. The selections might send you off looking for the original albums they came from, but then again sometimes the best track is all you need, and in this regard this is a collection of first rate tunes culled from a wide variety of sources.
"Yaro Yarodi," sung by three singers and written by Rahman, is very familiar, it may just be I am starting to recognise Rahman riffs, or I could have seen the film and forgotten the title since I don't speak Hindi. One good film tune begets another so we hear Lata Mangeshkar next: she's the old doll with the incredibly high voice that you either love or hate. There's a great rhythm that sustains this piece but it is followed by the Mother of all Grooves, Sukhwinder Singh's "Ghar Aaja", six minutes of head-banging bliss. Turn it up till the bass makes your crockery fall off the shelf! The song was from his 2000 album NASHI HAI NASHI HI. Tablas on reverb, tons of echo on the wailing vocals. I don't think it wasin a film, but the movie in your head is often enough.
