Bollywood music

Bollywood songs, more officially known as Hindi motion picture songs, are songs featured in Bollywood films, regularly performed in item numbers.

The language of Hindi picture songs, often called Hindi, can be complicated. Some songs are jam-packed with Urdu and Persian terms and it’s not uncommon to hear use of English words in songs from modern Hindi flicks. A number of other Indian languages have also been employed including Braj, Bhojpuri, Punjabi and Rajasthani. Now and then 1 or 2 lines in other Indian languages are used too.

Hindi Music and Bollywood songs from Bollywood has had a fascinating past and is placed to explode into the world arena over the next decade.

Bollywood music has had a long engaging journey. Beginning with the 50′s and 60′s where actors and actresses sung their own songs. The 70′s and 80′s were marked by Lata Mangeshkar’s undying tunes, Mohd. Rafi’s butter-sweet voice and R.D. Burman’s ahead-of-their-times dance numbers. The 90′s were, to me, a stage of transition for Bollywood music where the influence of western music and instruments continuously increased and brought with it, a few new flavours. The term Indi-pop got coined in that time as well beginning a complete new age where artists could now release their own music albums. It is hard to credit that before the 90′s there were only a few conventional Hindi music albums and the popular music was sometimes from Bollywood films.

The future holds lots more for Bollywood music. Today, Hindi music plays on radio around the planet. The top Indian composers are in world demand and compose music for flicks and albums in Hollywood and Europe as well. With Indian models getting recognition in recent times, Aishwarya Rai was Miss World and Sushmita Sen was Miss Universe ) and movie hits like Bend It Like Beckham and Monsoon Marriage directed by Indians, they’re definitely on the edge of taking off in a big style.
