This got me to go back and start listening to and seeking out Bollywood soundtracks.īollywood is an interesting genre. Between the twangy guitar stabs, swirling psychedelic sounds and the super high (provided by Asha Bhosle plus backing chorus) vs super low vocal (by Zeenat Aman) combination, I was hooked. Burman, was like nothing I had heard before. The song, written by arguably the the greatest Bollywood composer of them all, R.D.
When I first heard the swirling psychedelic drone that kicks off the 1971 film, Hare Rama Hare Krishna, my opinion almost immediately changed. Certainly, they were not the equal of the Indian classical music that I liked and respected. Despite having several Indian friends growing up and being exposed to a number of Bollywood films when staying over at their homes, I never took a lot of interest in these seemingly randomly plotted and pageant-like film productions that always struck me as more than a little silly. In the background of the rise of the International Hare Krishna movement in the 1970s, is a Montreal-based family of the Jaiswals, consisting of mom, dad, son, Prashant, and daughter, Jasbir.Song of the Day: Asha Bhosle & Zeenat Aman “Dum Maro Dum”Īsha Bhosle‘s incredible voice on this psychedelic Bollywood title cut proved to be the gateway that got me to take an interest in Bollywood music.
