Thank you India

I always knew Bollywood soundtrack music was cool, but I never knew what to buy. Enter the Monsoon Wedding soundtrack, featuring a pop song that makes that Punjabi MC/Jay-Z collabo sound like mush. “Chunari Chunari” is credited to Anurhada Shriram and Abhijeet, neither of whom I’ve been able to find out much about.

But the soundtrack also features Mohammed Rafi, who’s become a personal favorite of mine, and highly recommended, if you can find him on a compilation. Any recommendations for a compilation of more recent Bollywood hits? Come visit me at Waking Ear and let me know.
