Asha was eventually married to long-time collaborator, the above mentioned famed Indian film composing legend, R.D. Her mentor early in her career was her older sister, the equally industrious and legendary Lata Mangeshkar. She has provided singing work for over a thousand Bollywood films and was long a staple of the industry. With her soaring voice and musical versatility, she is one of greats of Bollywood music.

Burman was absolutely vociferous in his ability to adapt and utilize musical traditions from all over the world. While it is often unfairly maligned and dismissed as easily disposable pop music – accompaniment to sell what are often fairly low budget films – the composers and performers behind it frequently incredible musicians. 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.

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.
