Album Description

The Bombay Connection showcases the sound of the Indian action film of the late 70s and early 80s. Under the influence of films like Shaft and Dirty Harry a new kind of though Indian action film came into being in 1970s India. To match the loud fights and fast chases Indian composers developed a exciting bran of Bollywood funk. Wah-wah guitars, congas and funky moogs were effortlessly blended with tablas, dhols and Indian melody lines. This album compiles 12 of the best, incredibly original Bollywood Funk grooves, painting scenes of frantic chases through back streets in Bombay, secret plots conceived in subterarian headquarters by fake-moustached vilains and sexy seductive dances by female spies. The 6 panel digipack comes with a colorful 32 page booklet containing well researched info and a wealth of pictures.

Best Bollywood compilation I have heard.......2006-07-02

There are many Bollywood compilations out there and I have heard many of them. In my experience this one is the one that have the best songs and most of them. Let the tunes of Bollywood seduce and entertaine you!

Great fun!.......2001-09-21

A lovely CD with some very danceable tunes; especially "Dum Maro
Dum", the theme from Shalimar, and "I love you." I have only
seen maybe 5 or 6 Hindi films in my life, but i so love the
music because of it's color and energy. My only complaint about
the CD was the lack of information on each of the songs. Nothing
mentioned about performer, when they were released, from what
movie, etc. More details would have been nice, but this is still
a fine collection of "filmi" music. Enjoy!

A beautiful cd collection of rare and funky sounds from the indian filmindustry: Bollywood. Starsky & Hutch meets asia. The 'color' of the sounds brings you back to the 70's, and at the same time the asian sound has a contemporary feel (after all those years of 'world music'). Most important: this gem grooves.

what a great record.......2002-11-06

best when they're least straightforwardly lifting riffs from James Bond etc. but the combination of exotic and cheese is...interesting and groovin at the same time...plus it's as danceable as can be

Good work from the Caste........2002-08-11

The previous review < > covers nearly everything.

I don't understand much Hindi or Urdu but the tunes are nice and sweet; the idea gets across despite the language problem. In Mauritius the music scene is purely commercial Indian music. These tunes brings back the best of the old style, music for music, not business. DO NOT IMAGINE THAT IT IS ANYTHING LIKE MODERN BOLLYWOOD MUSIC. It is real! Dirty, earthy, gritty recordings and engineering, skillful musicians and well written truly soulful tunes. The Indians jumped on the funk bandwagon but did it well, and their roots still show through and mix well.

Maybe a little heavy on the horn section, which is not my style (or idea of funk), but this CD is rough

At last...the prefect combo of Sitars and Bass!.......2002-08-11

Ever since I saw "Ghost World" and watched in awe at the opening sequence when Enid is whirling around her room to an old Bollywood song i have been obsessed with finding this.

I did purchase the "Ghost World" soundtrack which has that particular cut on it, but it wasn't enough. So, I went to the next logical step, the actual artist. Alas, the majority of Raffi's stuff is more traditional Indian music. it didn't have that quirky sorta 60's kick to it....you know, like that music from the Peter Sellers movie "The Party".

Then I came across this little gem. Although it doesn't eek of swingin sixties, it has an amazing overlay of 70's funk which makes it perfection.

I am stil searching for the perfect blend of 60's and Indian music, when I find it, I will be in Nirvana..till then, I will funk-it-up with this.

Dope!.......2001-11-09

I picked this up on a whim after becoming enamored with all the Bollywood clips that are televised every Sunday on SF basic cable.

There is something enchanting about the female vocal style in Indian music and when you couple that with those ill Eastern melodies you can't stray too far from dope. Of course, this disc also promises funk and actually brings it, which makes this one a five star affair in my book.

This collection features grainy love tunes, incidental muzak, and theme music from various Bollywood flicks from the 70's when the emphasis always locked on the groove. The recordings aren't always pristine in fact, many seem to have been left out in the sun for 20 yrs. before being put to disc. But that just adds to the whole-"obscure cool" thang the kids so love these days.

The songs are a decent mix of vocals and instrumentals. Track 4-"Shalimar" is perfect in every way. It's a cinefunk masterpiece replete with electric sitar, tight drum and bass, horn solo, and Ennio Morricone style vocal stings.

Pick it up!
