I bought this album with no idea what it would be like at all - it is fantastic! The artists combine 70's retro funk with the beautiful lyrics from Bollywood films. Surprisingly it works and makes for really unusual listening. Drum beats reaching tense crescendo's coupled with the calming vocals of Indian's leading ladies make this the most original album I have heard in a long time. If you have an appreciation for Indian films and funk (! ) you'll love this!

The full title of this album is 'Bollywood Funk: 15 Funk-Fuelled Grooves from the Bollywood Classics' and it more than lives up to its title. This is a quality compilation featuring vintage sounds from Bollywood's golden years of the 60's & 70's, when whole orchestras would be crammed into studios and directed by genius composers such as Rahul Dev Burman, Laxmikant Pyarelal et al.
There are many highlights here, with the standout being the ubiquitous 'Dum Maro Dum', a beats heavy, Bollywood classic with its "Hare Krishna" chorus, sung by the equally ubiquitous Asha Bhosle. Two tracks from Burman's 'Shalimar' soundtrack, which is long overdue a CD release, feature - the title track, which definitely takes its cue from Ennio Morriconne (particularly the Edda Dell'Orso inspired vocals towards the end) - and the beautifully sung 'Baby Let's Dance Together'. At over seven minutes, 'Pyar Zindaghi Hai' is almost a Blaxplotation / Bollywood hybrid. Elsewhere some of the later 70's tracks have clearly been influenced by disco and there's the usual male / female vocal duelling going on.
Unfortunately the artists are not listed, but that's of little consequence when the music is this good - every song is a funked-up gem. Recommended.

At last...the prefect combo of Sitars and Bass!
11 Aug 2002
Ever since I saw "Ghost World" and watched in awe at the opening sequence when Enid is whirling around her room to an old Bollywood song i have been obsessed with finding this.
I did purchase the "Ghost World" soundtrack which has that particular cut on it, but it wasn't enough. So, I went to the next logical step, the actual artist. Alas, the majority of Raffi's stuff is more traditional Indian music. it didn't have that quirky sorta 60's kick to it....you know, like that music from the Peter Sellers movie "The Party".
Then I came across this little gem. Although it doesn't eek of swingin sixties, it has an amazing overlay of 70's funk which makes it perfection.
I am stil searching for the perfect blend of 60's and Indian music, when I find it, I will be in Nirvana..till then, I will funk-it-up with this.

Great fun!

Format:Audio CD
A lovely CD with some very danceable tunes; especially "Dum Maro
Dum", the theme from Shalimar, and "I love you." I have only
seen maybe 5 or 6 Hindi films in my life, but i so love the
music because of it's color and energy. My only complaint about
the CD was the lack of information on each of the songs. Nothing
mentioned about performer, when they were released, from what
movie, etc. More details would have been nice, but this is still
a fine collection of "filmi" music. Enjoy!
