Synopsis

Album Description

The Bombay Connection showcases the sound of the Indian action film of the late 70s and early 80s. Under the influence of films like Shaft and Dirty Harry a new kind of though Indian action film came into being in 1970s India. To match the loud fights and fast chases Indian composers developed a exciting bran of Bollywood funk. Wah-wah guitars, congas and funky moogs were effortlessly blended with tablas, dhols and Indian melody lines. This album compiles 12 of the best, incredibly original Bollywood Funk grooves, painting scenes of frantic chases through back streets in Bombay, secret plots conceived in subterarian headquarters by fake-moustached vilains and sexy seductive dances by female spies. The 6 panel digipack comes with a colorful 32 page booklet containing well researched info and a wealth of pictures.

Bollywood thru a 70s Funk lens

Michael Lekas | Seattle, WA | 12/16/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Not just for Bollywood fans, this CD should also appeal to people that like 70s Blacksploitation and Funk, or themes from cheesy TV drama and movies. Some songs seem direct ripoffs of Hollywood soundtracks, but all of them have a unique style - imagine Curtis Mayfield with tablas, flutes and Indian vocals. Really ahead of its time.

Between most songs are quotes from the movies themselves. The quotes are in English and usually quite campy: "Calling Hong Kong X-Y-U, this is Bombay Dragon speaking!" One song features dialog with a mother begging his son ("John") to please stay at home, escalating to a crescendo of bongo drums and maniacal laughter over backing vocals chanting "John is a Big Boy / Long Live John!" Crazy, crazy stuff!

The CD holds up to multiple listens, and my kids (3 and 6) even get into some of the more funky songs."
