Facts About Indian Fusion Bhangra Music
article source:ezinearticles.com/?Key-Facts-About-Indian-Fusion-Music.

The collaboration story of the Indian and western music is not very old to the Indian music. The fusion became a genre in the year 1955, when the sarod maestro Ali Akbar Khan performed with western musicians in the United States. During this era, various other legends including Ali Akbar Khan and Alla Rakha also worked with the western musicians.

In the 1960's, the great sitar player, Pandit Ravi Shankar occupied the stage of the Indian-fusion music. Pt Shankar along with Bud Shank started fussing the jazz music and the Indian traditional music. This trend of Indian fusion music was appreciated and adopted by the people, as a result of which George Harrison played "Norwegian wood" on his sitar in the year 1965. After this the trend was imitated by a number of artists and bands including Miles Davis, Bihari Sharma, Badal Roy, the Rolling Stones, String Band etc.

In the mid-1970s, John McLaughlin's orchestra 'The Mahavishnu' pursued Indian fusion music with the two imperative elements, integrity as well as authenticity. During this process John also joined hands with the legendary artists like L. Shankar, Zakir Hussain and others. Through this way, in the late 1980s, the trend of the Indian fusion music captured the Indian-British artists.

However in the new millennium, America started a new trend to fuse the Bhangra music with the Indian films. The great filmmaker of Indian film industry, Satyajit Ray also made an endeavour to bring the classical music to the limelight through the popular music tracks of his past productions which had the compositions of the great artists and singers, Vilayat Khan and Ravi Shankar.

For the first time in the history of the Indian fusion music, Vishwas Mohan Bhatt, the great Grammy award winner did a jugalbandi with Jei Bing Chen, the famous Chinese Erhu Player. This was the historical master piece of the Indian-Chinese music fusion.

Thus, the rising popularity of the Indian fusion music, with the help of vocals as well as instruments, highlights the multiculturalism and globalisation that are liked and appreciated by the music enthusiasts worldwide.

Punjabi Culture: Music and Songs

Punjab

The birthplace of Bhangra, the Punjab is a region extending over part of Northern India and Northeastern Pakistan. Translated, the name "Punjab" means the "Land of Five Rivers." The people of the Punjab are called Punjabis and they speak a language called Punjabi. The three main religions in the area are Sikhism, Hinduism, and Islam. The region has been invaded and ruled by many different empires and races, including the Aryans, Persians, Greeks, Muslims, and Mongols. Around the time of the 15th Century, Guru Nanak Dev founded the Sikh religion, which quickly came to prominence in the region. The 19th Century saw the beginning of British rule, which led to the emergence of several heroic freedom fighters, the subject of many Bhangra songs. Finally, the Punjab was split between Pakistan and India at the end of British rule in 1947. This partitioning resulted in a large migration of Punjabis into the United Kingdom, which eventually led to the emergence of Bhangra in Western clubs and dancehalls.

Bhangra

Bhangra is a lively form of music and dance that originated in the Punjab region in Southeast Asia. As many Bhangra lyrics reflect the long and often tumultuous history of the Punjab, knowledge of Punjabi history offers important insights into the meaning of the music. While Bhangra began as a part of harvest festival celebrations, it eventually became a part of such diverse occasions as weddings and New Year celebrations. Moreover, during the last thirty years, Bhangra has enjoyed a surge in popularity worldwide, both in traditional form and as a fusion with genres such as hip-hop, house, and reggae. As Bhangra continues to move into mainstream culture, an understanding of its history and tradition helps to appreciate it.

Bhangra Instruments

Many different Punjabi instruments contribute to the sound of Bhangra. Although the most important instrument is the dhol drum, Bhangra also features a variety of string and other drum instruments.

The primary and most important instrument that defines Bhangra is the dhol. The dhol is a large, high-bass drum, played by beating it with two sticks. The width of a dhol skin is about fifteen inches in general, and the dhol player holds his instrument with a strap around his neck.

The string instruments include the tumbi, sarangi, sapera, supp, and chimta. The dhad, dafli, dholki, and damru are the other drums. The tumbi, famously mastered by Amar Singh Chamkila, a famous Punjabi singer, is a high-tone, single-string instrument. Although it has only one string, mastering the tumbi takes many years. The sarangi is a multi-stringed instrument, somewhat similar to the violin. The sapera produces a beautiful, high-pitched stringy beat, while the supp and chimta add extra, light sound to Bhangra music. Finally, the dhad, dafli, dholki, and damru are instruments that produce more drum beats, but with much less bass than the dhol drum.

Bhangra Today

Bhangra has come a long way in the 20th Century and has recently taken the entertainment industry by storm. In the 1970s and 1980s, many Punjabi singers from Southeast Asia and the United Kingdom emerged, setting the stage for Bhangra to become a hot new trend in dance music. Modern Bhangra artists, in addition to recording and performing traditional Bhangra, have also fused Bhangra with other music genres, such as hip-hop, reggae, house, and drum-and-bass.

2Pac - Trust Me Feat Shamur (Bhangra Mix)

2Pac - Trust Me Feat Shamur (Bhangra Mix)

Till some time back, most of the films coming from the house of Bhatts had music by Nadeem Shravan. Anu Malik was roped in for some of the subsequent movies in last few years and now a new entrant is entrusted with the job of handling the entire musical score - Pritam. The young man, who has mainly been associated with popcorn flicks in the past [Dhoom, Chocolate, Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena, Fight Club] gets a challenging opportunity to give music for a love story cum action-drama 'Gangster - A Love Story'. It would be interesting to see how he scores for this Emraan Hashmi, Shiney Ahuja, Kangna starrer that is directed by Anurag Basu of 'Murder' fame!

1) Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai (Original, remix, euro mix) [Singer: K.K., lyrics: Sayeed Quadri]
Romance in a candle light dinner on a moonlit night, and the song 'Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai' playing in the background - now that would really make it a special evening. Sayeed Quadri's poetic lyrics are presented in such a contemporary manner by Pritam that it is hard but not to repeat the song on a continuous mode. K.K. is subdued in his rendition and yet again demonstrates that he is one of the best that we have today in the Bollywood playback scene. A melodious number, it also appears in a remix version each by Bunty Rajput and Jatin Sharma. Their effort is visible as they bring a distinct club feel to the son, but hey give us the original melody any time. A great kick start to the album, 'Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai' stays on with you for long!
2) Bheegi Bheegi [Singer: James, lyrics: Mayur]
If 'Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai' wasn't a good enough reason to celebrate, then there is more to come in the form of 'Bheegi Bheegi'. A song that actually catches heat and picks up the tempo after being on for around a couple of minutes, it welcomes the arrival of Bangladeshi singer James who impresses in his very first Bollywood outing. His rendition style is simply phenomenal, taking into consideration that he was actually made to drink by the composer before he came behind the mike. A song about life and its strange ways, lyricist Mayur and composer Pritam spin the tale in such a manner that it makes for a good background piece. Based on Gautam Chatterjee's 'Prithvi', 'Bheegi Bheegi' may turn out to be crucial to the proceedings. A haunting track!

3) Lamha Lamha [Singer: Abhijeet, Sunidhi Chauhan, lyrics: Neelesh Misra]
A minute into 'Lamha Lamha' and you are happy about your decision to include 'Gangster' in your music collection. As like majority of Abhijeet sung number, 'Lamha Lamha' too has certain innocence around it by means of lyrics and soulful music. Neelesh Misra is effective in his non-Bollywood lyrics [thank God for that!] and 'Lamha Lamha' turns out to be yet another number that impresses you from the very first note. After a romantic 'Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai' and a thoughtful 'Bheegi Bheegi', its time to fall in love once again with 'Lamha Lamha'. There is more in store when the same song is repeated, this time with Sunidhi Chauhan and Abhijeet coming together for the duet. Incidentally this is for the first time when a female voice is heard in the album!

4) Ya Ali [Singer: Zubin, lyrics: Sayeed Quadri]
A situational track that should appear in the background, 'Ya Ali' is a passionate number, which is neither a 'sufi' track nor does it fit into a 'qawalli' mode. Instead it is a westernized number with unique musical arrangements that make this Zubin sung number a good techno affair. This song by itself may not be the reason enough to go for the album but as a part of an overall score of 'Gangster', it makes for a decent inclusion.
5) Mujhe Mat Roko [Singer: Kavita Seth, lyrics: Sayeed Quadri] Tu hi meri shab hai feat. Kangna Ranauat & Emraan Hashmi from the movie Gangster.
