Альбом : The Essential Guide To India - Desi Beats & beyond...(CD3) Артист: Various Artists Дата релиза: Apr 4, 2006 Лейбл: Essentials Жанр : World
The disc of "Desi Beats" might disappoint some Western listeners (and this anthology is geared toward a Western audience) looking for something different than the usual stuff you hear in North America and Europe, as there are plenty of thumping club/hip-hop/electronic beats and textures. Nonetheless, these recordings are a legitimate expression of branches into which Indian music was evolving in the years immediately preceding this 2006 anthology. Too, like the other discs in this set, it packs considerable variety into one CD, often retaining a distinctively Indian character in the vocals and many of the instrumental elements, even as it borrows heavily from Western trends.
