Huh. Somehow had not ever heard this here before. Very interesting. I like.
Everybody in my alien space craft loves this music...

Trust me -- there are no flies on the Kronos Quartet.
My kid is learning to play the viola. He is a master at microtones.

Wow, would have never imagined this would get played on RP! The original song is a classic (for Indians at least), instantly recognizable. The song exemplifies the cultural mix that is India, heavy with influences from the middle east. Thanks RP!
HOLY CRAP! Mehbooba on RP?! The original song is from the legendary (for Indians) Hindi movie Sholay. I must have watched that movie at least 15 times... a classic.
The original:
Must watch Sholay again...
Great song, Secret Chiefs 3 sounding
My first 1. For the first time I was tempted to mute RP. I really doubt that genuine Hindu folk music sounds like this. Out-of-tune violin playing in Ionian mode.
When I grow up, i hope to invent a machine that makes it absolutely certain that I never hear the music, or even the name, of the K_____ Q______ , ever again. I'm sure there's a big and growing market for such as device and I'll remember y'all when i'm rich and famous.

The combination of instruments here is bewildering. I loved it immediately!

That's a word I didn't know and was searching for a couple weeks ago. Thanks Brighhue

Damn, I could murder a curry...
The only thing better than a fresh curry is a 2 day old one, reheated.........I'm getting that one in about 20 mins.
Gotta find this music again before then.
This is such a great song in the original film version - the film is the (great) Sholay, and the song is Mehboob, or beloved. The woman who dances to it was a legend of Hindi film, Helen, an "Anglo-Indian" (actually Jewish) who did all the sexy dance numbers in early Hindi film, since at that time Indian actresses were not supposed to do such unseemly things on film.
SoaD to this... Brilliant, thanks RP!
can we have this next...
please?

I don't know...I've always thought there's a little something off with that violin, almost like the person playing it isn't quite good or the violin itself sucks. I do like the song itself, though.

The beginning of this reminded me of Kramer and his girlfriend dancing in bath towels to a jungle beat, right before they crash through the glass coffee table.
Thanks, Bill, for letting us hear music that we would never ordinarily choose.
I like this...these guys were nominated for a Grammy.
Yeah, I guess this goes pretty well with Camper Van Beethoven. That said, I could listen to it again.
Thanks RP.
Never know what your going to get with Kronos. This isn't bad, but check out Pieces of Africa its amazing.
It reminds me in a way of Willie & Lobo...played back at the wrong speed.
I like it.
Bollywood called, they want their soul back.

I agree... unless the song goes too long, in which case it gives me a headache and makes want to switch to another station.
woah... how did this get in here...

I love it! Gave it a thumbs up on the LRC and glad to hear it made it to the main playlist!
Not one of KQ's strongest, shall we say.
This is absolutely dreadful.
Now THAT'S eclectic. Starting at 7.
