In LA a few years back I found a 4-cassette pack of Asha's Favorites of her own recordings, with spoken introduction (which I sadly can't understand)
This is, by far, one of my all-time favorite Asha tracks -- and I'm happy to report that she was quite fond of it as well. The movie will make you weep like a baby, and I can't listen to tracks from it without at least a mild wash of melancholy or sadness or somethin' washin' thru me
peter - Most of my record Stores in the SFV are dead, wondering where one would find such a treasure?
I left LA 20 years ago. I had no clue that I would never be back, but we made a quick trip 7 years into in Encintos and I was able to Visit Bob's Frolic Room with some of my friends on Hollywood Blvd... but my wife took me back to Hell. :)

Great selections Gary. About to play in a bridge game but I'll catch the rest in the archives this week! Thanks!
The song "The Shadowy Light" features guest contributions from Gruff Rhys, Ajay Prasanna, Amaan Ali Bangash, Ayaan Ali Bangash and Asha Bhosle. Bhosle, who sings the Hindi hook "Majhi Re Majhi" on the song (which she had also recorded earlier in her career), had her words written by lyricist and dialogue writer Kausar Munir. Speaking of the song, Bhosle said: "I was hesitant to work on this album of Gorillaz, but when I heard the music track and the lyrics, it triggered something deep inside me. This was not one of those everyday kinds of songs. The lyrics held deep meaning, and I felt moved enough to accept this assignment."
yeah i don't know how the fuck they figure i'm helping them buy a new massage chair for donald dump, or weapons... i'm barely above poverty level (by american standards).

[Bhosle] further elaborated on the song's lyrics in a joint interview with Vogue India: "In one part of 'The Shadowy Light', I sing, 'Chal mere raahi, gehra hain paani, mujhe jaana hain uss paar.' I'm telling the boatman to ferry me across the river, which is my life's journey: my birth, my relationships, my dedication to music, my achievements, my duties as a mother, daughter, sister, wife and Indian. The boatman is a metaphor for my music, which has guided me across this river of life. When I get to the other side, my journey will be complete and I will attain moksha. If you listen carefully, you will be able to discern thousands of sounds floating around us. I shall become one of them. This freedom to become one with nature is what awaits me on the other side of the river."

Reminds me of seeing what could've been a few of their musician kids and grandkids play for the The Manganiyar Seduction show a decade back.
They're Rajasthani folk Sufi musicians. Roysten Abel was the director who worked with dozens of Manganiyar from the Thar Desert region. Me and a friend I went with met them after the show, amazing time, fun and so authentic.

Was that 2008 concert the one where she was backed by Kronos Quartet and Zakir Hussain? I caught that show in Boston around the same time.. fantastic
I'm not sure if Kronos and Hussain were there, I only remember screaming for Asha. I suspect they weren't? My memory is that it was all or mostly a band recreating the film sound
