"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."
