Desi Music - wow !!

Ever hear about Penn Masala. Nope ... that is not the name of an Indian spice factory ... that is the Hindi a cappella music band founded at University of Pennsylvania (that explains the cool name). They made the 'a cappella' (without musical instrument) form of music possible for Hindi tunes, how unique !! You would not believe your ears (or the nervous system) when you would hear their version of "Aap Jaisa Koi...". Check out their website to know more about Penn Masala.

You have to check out this interesting gujju hiphop rap video. The song "Blood Brothers" is done by the band Karmacy in their debut album "The Movement". The gujju in me got totally blew off when I saw this video (gotta praise the concept and the talent too).

You probably don't remember but we (including you) have heard PennMasala's songs ... remember the 'aap jaisa koi' in American Desi ... the one where the hero practices garba or something. Yup ... that's a song from PennMasala. I've heard some more of their songs and i like them ... but they need to come up with more variety in their non-instrument-vocal-background-music.
