Let’s get a little glimpse of the journey of Bollywood Music with a walk (dance) down memory lane with our in-house Bollywood DJ taking us on a trip ranging from traditional Indian spiritual music and the masters of Sitar like Ravi Shankar, the “psychedelic pop” of the late 60’s was born in India. The hippie wave that stroke India at this time was found of this new sounds and deeply changed the pop rock culture of the 70’s, specially after the trip of the Beatles in an ashram of Rishikesh, where they composed their famous White Album. The most symbolic song of this period in India is Dum Maro Dum, from the movie Hare Rama Hare Krishna, sang by the most famous singer of this time Asha Bhosle. It’s still very popular, often re-sing, and even sample by some rapper like Method Man.

After this “golden age”, it was the Disco time, from the 80’s to the middle of the 90’s. The music became more and more western, showing a modern India on the screen, but keeping its rankness that charms us. The dance took its independence from tradition, to become what we call Bollywood dance, a mixed of modern dance and traditional gestures. The music of the movie industry made the success of the first nightclubs in Delhi and Mumbai. This period strongly influenced the mainstream image of Bollywood all around the world, kitschy and very ebullient, for the best or the worst (I advise you to watch “Disco Dancer” for a good laugh!).
