Bollywood music is dance music for those who loathe American pop, as well as those bored with bass-heavy beats. It's unabashedly cheesy, while remaining enjoyable, and the lack of "balance" within the music itself is perhaps a manifestation of (and reaction to) the broader middle eastern culture, which doesn't generally value gender equality. Bollywood music, in such a sense, is a natural counter-culture reaction to the suppression of female sexuality; but thats a whole different discussion (bellydance history)...

I enjoy it, personally... The more darbouka, the better!!

^ That was pretty deep. I can't provide any intellectual discourse I'm afraid. I only know I like the music.



@ Lisnaholic, love The Pogues and their unpretentious, rough n ready sound. Truly a great band.

The Pogues - Dirty Old Town




The Pogues/The Dubliners - Irish Rover

I keep posting this song, I know, but I keep finding new versions. All beautiful. And it might be my favourite song.

Kate Rusby - The Wild Goose
