Global Grooves

Sasria kal, namaste and welcome to Global Grooves,
I am Gordon K and the show is produced and written by AK productions.

Featured on the programme is some of the finest Bollywood music past and present.

Bollywood is a term used to describe the massive Hindi film industry in Mumbai, formerly Bombay. Its varied music serves an important role in these films and has become popular with Indian and worldwide audiences.

According to Indian film director Mahesh Bhatt, Bollywood music is the soul of a movie. It moves the story along and brings people to the theatres and cinemas

As Bollywood movies vary in emotion, from dramas to comedies, so does its music. Bollywood music ranges from marriage songs to traditional instrumentals to karaoke and is sung in languages like Hindi, Panjabi and many more.

Most Bollywood music is pre-recorded. Actors and actresses lip-synch to the music during filming. The playback singers receive prominent billing, however, and often have their own followers.

You can listen to Global Grooves every Monday from 22:00 on 107.8FM
