If you've wanted to try out some NewAge Indian Cinema - you've gotta try "Gully Boy"

[i][b][c=#666666]Gully Boy is a film about a 22 year old Muslim kid from a ghetto in Bombay. The boy is a rapper, and the story is his journey from realising his love for rap, to chasing his dream, and to inadvertently transcending his class.

Authentic Hip Hop in India is a recent phenomenon and like anywhere else in the world, is rising from the streets. It is the only true political space in music right now and it's coming from people that have nothing to lose, the colonised poor.[/c][/b][/i][/quote]

@Wolf90 i didn't know i would be into it but having seen the movie - i kinda really like it to be honest :)

Wolf90 · M

Cool! What other music do you like?

SW-User

@Wolf90 i guess i like pop a lot and then there's dance music - i love dancing basically - here in India we have songs that are called "Item Numbers" i just love love love them - they are naughty and fun <3 and I like Indian music - I'll show you something interesting in that - do you happen to like Coldplay or have heard them anytime?

Wolf90 · M

I do like some of Coldplays stuff yeah! They are quite good! I am quite curious as to what you are going to say next now lol!

@Wolf90 nothing weird lol - its a nice one - this one is by Tushar Lall - he's a big coldplay fan (he has a message in the end if you like to hear him out on that) - so he's made this series of coldplay "mixes" using a variety of instruments including Indian ones and in some ways its feels like an Indian rendition of those songs - i just felt it kinda speaks out - so lemme know if you like it <3

That was outstanding! Really enjoyed that! He seems like a cool guy too! Have they done a version of Vive La Vida by any chance?

SW-User

@Wolf90 not yet ^^ just paradise and everglow; speed of sound and clocks; and the current one you heard, yellow and the scientist

It's really good stuff! I do enjoy listening to various types of musical experimentation and that was very cool. I really liked the vocal accompaniment by the female singer too. It really suited the music especially as it was pure voice rather than the lyrics of the song.

SW-User

@Wolf90 yeah ^^ i am glad you liked it - something on an entirely different region are item songs - the ones i mentioned as the kind of music i love dancing to - if you'd like i could show you some - but they're like poles apart from this kind of music

Wolf90 · M

I'd love to see some item songs! Anything that gets you dancing must be interesting lol! :)

Wow! I can see why they are popular to dance to! Very sexy! That singer has some moves too lol! I am fascinated to see what the naughtier versions are if these are the nice ones lol!

SW-User

@Wolf90 [b][i][c=#BF0080]this is more closer to the place i grew up in and kinda is more raunchier and naughtier <3 they probably aren't classy - more like dirty and slutty[/c][/i][/b]
