Description
For their fourth CD, the Bollywood Brass Band is joined by singer Rafaqat Ali Khan and a string section to pay tribute to 60 years of Indian and Pakistani film soundtracks.
The Bollywood Brass Band includes some of London's most versatile musicians, also to be heard with bands including Transglobal Underground and The Dhol Foundation. In the world they create, the sound of Indian movies meets wedding brass band music and Indian pop.
The range of instruments is audacious: saxes, trumpets, trombones, flute, sousaphone, dhol, dholak, tabla, drumkit, surdo, percussion. The added soundscape of samples and a string section provide a glowing setting for the golden voice of Rafaqat Ali Khan.
The nephew of Pakistan's greatest classical singer, Salamat Ali Khan, he brings his classical heritage to film soundtracks and popular music, while staying true to his Sufi soul. On "Chaiyya Chaiyya", the band and Rafaqat Ali Khan present a varied selection of Bollywood classics from the 1950s to the present day. All time superhits by AR Rahman, RD Burman and 70's funk heroes Kalyanji-Anandji rub shoulders with the latest floorfillers.
