Synopsis

Album Description
This is the first volume in the CD series Bombay Connection presenting the best, rarest and most exciting songs from the colorful history of Bollywood music. Bombshell Baby of Bombay is dedicated to the exciting sounds of Bollywood Nightclub songs that were popular in India of the 1950s and 1960s. This volume features both very classic nightclub tunes like the famous ''Surf rocker'' from Gunnaam and ''1,2,3 Baby'' from Kismat as well as extremely rare songs like the beatlesque ''Pretty Priya'' and the scorching little music to '' Bluff Master.'' The 6 digipack comes with a colorful 32 page booklet containing well researched information and a wealth of pictures. It's for the very 1st time that extended research has been done into Bollywood film music. This is also the first Bollywood compilation CD to feature the Hindi song lyrics and English translations.

You found a shimmering jewel on this one

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Put equal parts Mancini, Nino Rota, Cab Calloway, Tito Puente, and Dick Dale in a shaker. Shake vigorously. Spritz with gorgeous and hilarious Hindi vocals. And you have a mind blowing musical cocktail that will amaze and astonish. I've been a music critic, club DJ, record exec, producer, and musician... truly not to boast... but just to say music is my world... and this collection is at the top of my list of lists. How did these virtuoso arrangers, composers, and performers hit on this incredible mix of diverse elements? No one told them they couldn't do it. 'Cause they were half a world away. I got hip to this world after seeing the movie "Ghost World" in which the opening titles feature the incredible dance number to "Jan Pechanho", the music of which is on this comp. BTW, of you've seen the movie.. the "singer" in the number is lip sincing Mohammed Rafi's vocal.. ans is actually the choreographer of the sequence. And if you love this music, I'd say that gets you a pass to the world's "cool club.""
Trippy!

"Musical mayhem from Bollywood. Mind-blowing nightclub numbers that are unlike anything you've ever heard -- in the USA. A mash-up of Indian, swing, Arabic, bossa nova, R&R, you name it. Wonderful party music."
