World music

Indian music with a focus on Hindi, Muslim, and ambient

Asha Bhosle: This is the only cut I could find of her that was not from an Indian movie (which are really Really REALLY bad, like 70's porn bad) so the sound quality is fairly poor but it sort of added to the music I think. BTW she is like the CHER or Madonna of Indian music. I have 3 cd's which feature her and I treat them as jewels.
