From the very earliest days of cinema, India took to films – and to film songs - like perhaps no other nation. Even America is left gasping in its wake as regards the sheer number of movies made per annum. And these are no ordinary movies: music is a vital and absolutely integral part and there’s more than one that’s bombed at the box-office only to be saved by its soundtrack. Forget MTV, with almost every Indian movie containing at least 6 dramatically choreographed song and dance numbers, it could be argued that India has had its own special ‘MTV’ since day one.

But the singing voices are not those of the actors. It might be a giant-sized Miss World on screen but back-stage in the sound-booth there can be a little old lady, though with a voice pure and strong, known and loved by the whole sub-continent and community of Indians throughout the world. On these 3 CDs we introduce some of the greatest names performing some of their most famous songs. These are real voices behind the heroes, heroines and lovers that can make a nation gasp and gossip, laugh or cry.

an extraordinary 3CD collection of best-loved Bollywood songs, each CD individually themed to help tell the story

a perfect introduction to one of the most popular musics throughout the world
