So what types of music do you guys listen to besides Bhangra? For me, it's literally pretty much anything except Country, Classical, and the Rap they play on the radio. There are bunch of really great songs that I like but I thought this one was pretty unique enough to post up so here it is:

And if any of you guys have played Fifa '07, that was a portuguese song from that game ;D Also yeah if anyone else wants to post up any other good stuff, def do because I kinda wanna step away from Bhangra music for a little bit and see what else is out there lol..

Besides the usual hip-hop/ RnB/ pop stuff we hear in clubs, and Bollywood, of course...i listen to:

Dance
Hindustani classical (including instrumentals...tabla/sitar/sarod/santoor/etc..)
OLD school Bollywwod (like 50s-70s)
Middle Eastern
North African (Rai)
Reggae
Hawaiian/Island (I grew up with this stuff...)
other international music that sounds good/danceable
maybe a gahzal once in a while too...

;)

...i forgot to add sufiana music...

Try these out. I found them on my dad's favorites on Youtube and they're quite interesting :)

RAAS MUSIC! YAY!

*shoots himself*

But on a serious note, my music selection other than bhangra is mostly just Bollywood (any era from oldies to modern) and modern pop/rnb Amrikan songs.

Hahaha so someone else on this forum actually listens to garba music too. Damn, one in a million lol. Ohhhhhh yeah I think I remember Ronica or someone else was saying how you were thinking about joining the Boston Summer Garba team (unless they were talking about a different Kinnell :-X). Yo, def join it bro if you can because we still need a few more guy members I think..

Oh yeah and back on topic ;D GW's mix is sick too

Also, afropop is actually pretty good too. Femi Kuti and Fela Kuti are the only ones I know of, but they're both really good. Though, I think Fela's music sounds jazzy, but still great.

I love country music.....I'm glad I'm offically not the only brown one around that loves it!!! And I love classical music only when I'm studying though, because it is supposed to help you retain more information.......my own cognitive dissonance keeps me from stopping! Other than that I've got A lot of Sinatra, Dean Martin, Paul Anka on my ipod ;D and ofcoarse all the r&b hip hop stuff as well

I have 7 hrs of Garba/Raas music on my comp (Khelaiya Gujrati Garba Collection haha)...and yes, I've listened to most of the 7 hrs...it's oddly calming. I'm sure I wouldn't be saying this if I wasn't on a raas team my Freshman year...
