R.D Burman (Composer) + Asha Bhosle are the OG of mixing influences from around the world into Bollywood

And copying. 😉

@@Exiide89 He took different things from different genre to compose this song....for you and me mere mortals, we can't even recognize genres....he was extremely talented. This is pure insult to talent.

[@Exiide89]

@@motionislife4879 Boss, RD Burman was the Pritam or Anu Malik of 70's and 80's. Most of his iconic tunes are stolen. Search KZbin. You will find plenty of details.

[@motionislife4879]

@@Exiide89 No you don't get it. A musical genre comes from a culture, essentially a sound or the ways a genre is played or arranged is created collectively by a culture where the influence of their geography, their history are prevalent. So to create a very unique composition without influence of anywhere else would be really challenging, especially in case of movie songs, where the creator is always under pressure from producer and director etc..if you look at that way, you can surely appreciate the talent. Indian classical, folk, and other traditions like gazal etc are already ocean of music, creating something outside of that is to go out and mix and match various vocabularies as Efra said....otherwise how one individual can compete with a culture? Also, he was not creating the music just for his own sake, or for the sake of creation, there were commercial aspects...do you support independent artists doing their own work just for the sake of creation? Even then those independent artists are not totally out of existing influences...

[@dheerajsaini3381]

RD Burman (composer) indian music industry legend, was the one who composed songs inspired from every genre of music across the world. He was heavily inspired by Jazz and Spanish genre , you will find many of his songs with the touch of Spanish flavour. He used Conga and Bongo in almost all of his songs in Rythm section, he was the one who introduced flamenco to Indian music industry.

[@jheelpari]

This song was from the 1973 movie Yaadon Ki Baaraat and yes, the glasses clinking was a part of the original song. Asha Bhosle is the younger sister of Lata Mangeshkar. They are 4 sisters and a brother. All the sisters sing playback music and the brother is a music composer. The Hindi movies of the 60s and 70s were influenced a lot by western music and European music. Even some Elvis Presley songs. 🙂

[@r.h.6249]

Asha Bhosle is the OG pop singer/party singer back in the day...her songs were made for partying and had such a groove to them....Lata Mangeshkar's songs were very classically influenced and very emotional and deep songs while Asha Ji's most famous songs were dance songs..in the old bollywood movies whenever there was a song about actors inner turmoil, it was Lataji's voice in the songs and whenever there was a dance number, it was Ashaji's voice in those songs

[@omkarmavlankar6611]

Hear ashatai sing her father's songs. Other marathi songs too...

[@09amitava]

The two Mangeshkar sisters honestly deserve their own feature friday lol. Tho any feature friday on the 50s-70s will pretty much be all their songs lol. The two most recorded singers in world history. They are the bedrock of both indian music and indian cinema. Indian cinema would literally not exist in the same way without them. Imagine,.. for so many decades, you could pretty much not have a hit film unless either Lata or Asha were recording the vocals. The actors used to even demand it be written in their contracts that only Lata or Asha could sing for them.

[@nehayadav772]

Conga is very prevalent instrument in India. Almost every high school which has a classical music as subject has this instrument for sure along with Harmonium.

[@tony-pc4kd]

Piya Tu by Asha bhosle live is like a full powerhouse performance ❤️

[@archiem654]

Absolutely love this song! And the tune you guys played at 3:04 (rumba i guess) is something i have heard a lott in older bollywood songs and overall background music of movies. No wonder i liked latin music much more than hollywood pop when i first heard it.

[@dheerajsaini3381]

1970s and 80s were ruled by RD Burman, Kishore Kumar and Asha/Lata. That was the golden period of Indian music industry . Biggest hits of this century were recorded in this time period and Indian music infused the world music in it which helped to shape up todays music style/genre. If pancham (RD Burman ) wouldn’t happen you would not see what Indian music is today.

[@thekingxxzone824]

How could you forget Mohammad rafi

[@dheerajsaini3381]

Yes, sorry my mistake. In fact before Kishore Da’s rise in 70s it was Rafi all over with Pancham then be it Teesri Manzil or Pyar Ka Mausam.

Ashaji is my favourite singer. She is so versatile that she can sing any type of song in any language. Ashaji & RD Burman duo was amazing. Even after so many decades no one can come close to their musical combination.

[@saratsaratchandran3085]

Not in Malayalam!

[@Sticklemako]

You have to understand the older Hindi movies had lots of retro 'westernised' themes in their story and the songs were written for the narrative/setting in the movie and lots of world style music was adapted with Indian classical to build something new

[@pratappawar440]

One of the other songs that she performed in the same concert was 'Dil Cheez Kya Hai' is another iconic Asha Bhosle song! Her voice shines brilliantly in that song too!

[@LilacPeony3088]

Even at this age lata (R.I.P) and Asha can sing beautifully. Age just a number to them. Classical singers in India can control their voice and sounds like young boy or girl. This is magic of classical practice and songs. And two sisters literally legends🥰🥰

[@priyamgupta1911]

RD Burman was the legend that popularized R&B in India, also he has a lot of insanely good compositions with Asha his wife and Kishore Kumar( arguably the greatest Indian singer to have ever lived).

[@RabiyaRavenclaw]

The greatest Indian singer would be Tansen, so yeah 😂😂

[@erumrabbani9045]

Oh this is wonderful! She's such a versatile artist. Please do listen/watch/react to her songs in Umrao Jaan Ada. Asha+Khayyam+Rekha = Absolute magic!

[@r.r.b.424]

Asha Bhosale I would say is also one of the most versatile singers Bollywood have. She is amazing in classical also when she sang western styles she is Great. I can definitely say that she is most versatile and I think she kind of introduced Bollywood to Western influences and her item numbers are epic 💕 , she is the one who started the item numbers era in Bollywood.

[@ronjos]

Did you know that flamenco which is associated with the gypsies or the Roma people has an Indian connection? The gypsies are originally from India and have traveled all over the world. They congregate in India every decade or so to celebrate their origins. The musical traditions that the gypsies inherited from their Indian origins are the influences you see in their present day music and dance.

Flamenco Rumba and music in Spain were brought by the Gypsies from Northern India with the base being Indian and then evolving over regions of travel till they reached Spain that's why spainish indian music is so familiar.

The entire family of Lata Mangeshkar and her sisters and her brother are a legendary institution of music. Especially in Marathi language industry. Also, Lata ji and Asha ji have sang for girls who were 19-20-21 yrs old when they themselves were 60-65 yrs old. Example: Jiya Jale from Dil Se(Lata Mangeshkar) and Sharara Sharara (Mere yaar ki shaadi hai) .

[@fluteartist9659]

You guys should react to some retro bollywood music. It'll surely blow your mind.

[@SaidasRanade]

I have been enjoying your show. Yo soy de la India. For many in India, the late Lata Mangeshkar is an incarnation of a Goddess. Asha Bhosle, who is still active, is the younger sister of Lata and was seen as the rebel in terms of India's family traditions. She is loved by all. She got out of a bad marriage, raised a family and remarried. She was married to RD Burman the music director of the composition you viewed here. The initial sound created by the clanking of champagne glasses was picturized on Zeenat Aman (in a Western attire). For many in India of a certain age group, that initial sound is a SIGNATURE sound that they will never forget. It is like the initial guitar notes of "Hotel California." In all her appearances she is youthful, creative, optimistic and forward-thinking.

[@peterparker6377]

Even at her age 90 she sung the same that's a gift

Many people say and think that flamenco actually was influenced by a certain Indian folk dance and music. It went to Europe via Roma gypsies who were originally from the Indian subcontinent. So Flamenco can be considered Indian-influenced.
