wild INDIAN SOUNDTRACK: Purab aur Pachhim Click here to listen to a MP3 SOUND CLIP

Soundtrack to the 1971 movie 'Purab Aur Pachhim' which means 'East or West'. It is entirely devoted to the in Indian Cinema central theme Western Modernity versus Indian Tradition. Read: Whiskey, Smoking & Sex vs. Good Family Life (see the cover)

On this LP is an incredible groover! In the song, the westernized hip chick Priti tries to teach the hero English songs like 'Twinkle Twinkle little star'. The guy turns the songs immedeatily into an incredible raw, steaming Hindu party, blending it fluently with oriental hindi song lines. Savage drums, loud percussion. The singing has very uncommon timing, incredibly groovy and infectious. Now and then the rhythm halts:

-Pritti: 'You FOOL!'

-Bharat: (rhythm starts again) 'every- bo-dy is a FOOL, ba-by!'

and

-Pritti: 'Oof!! What do you want?!?'

-Bharat: (rhythm starts again) 'I ....want is a CHAN-CE, ba-by!'

You might find your audience all singing along to this oriental macho version of 'Twinkle Little Star' & 'Jack & Jill' rough-style, dancing like madmen. If that's beyond good taste, you might find yourself in front your own stereo, going berserk (at least I do). Forget about modernity. Throw off your suit & join the tribal dancing. This is the best introduction into traditional Hindu wildness you'll ever get.

Also on this LP: the wildest drum break ever, followed by one of the prettiest village girl song of all times, sung by Lata. This is how beautiful, whirling & intoxicating Hindi can get. The whole LP is amazingly beautifull songs, one of the few Hindi LPs that are enjoyable from A to Z. Probably you know the more recent hit KHABI KHUSI KHABIE GHAM, which derived it's style very much from this score.
