Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to make everyone aware of the fact that a new indo-paki band called "Guru's Trilogy" has just released their debut album titled "Aghaaz - Chapter 1." I am in the hunt for this CD after I heard the video of the track "Daastaan," which is a wonderful piece. It's not really rock music and not even pop music, it's more of a fusion mix.
If you have an intrest in different sounds, then keep your eye open for this new group that has hit the stands. After I listen to the entire CD, I will post some thoughts and comments.
On a brief aside, just for to quench my curiosity - how many of the members in this group are fond of Non-Filmi Indian Music? Pakistani Music? Arabic Music? Asian Massive Movement/Underground International Music? Let me know!

Me, too. Here's some of the music in my playlists: Anouar Brahim (from Syria, I think), Azam Ali - cross culture, Bamada (from Mali), Garaj Mahal (fusion/jazz), DJ Cheb i Sabbah (the greatest! Hindu/Pak/Algeria! SF based), Khaled (from Algeria),Aziz Herawi (Afghanistan), Nass El Ghiwane (Morocco),L. Subramanian (India), Axiom of Choice (Iran). Thanks for the tip on Guru's Trilogy. I found their website (predictably) http://www.gurustrilogy.com/ I'm always interested in music recommendations.

Well Geetanjali and cathyfar, I'm so pleased to know that I am in some great company in terms of musical drive and inspiration.Geetanjali, I, along with many many other Indian/Pakistani/Sufi music lovers am swept away by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's music. When I listen to his music today, it's amazing to hear how ahead-of-his-time his music was! Even for today I feel some of his sounds are so progressive! It saddens me that I was never able to personally witness him and his music live as he passed away when I was very young.
Cathyfar, I am familiar with a few of the artists you mentioned (DJ Cheb i Sabbah, Khalad, Subramaniam, Azam Ali). No problem about the recommendation. For any music recommendations, THIS IS THE GROUP TO CHECK OUT!
Also, if you have any recommendations (recent) I'd love to hear them. (btw, i've probably heard all the indian and some paki music).

I'm really late to this...but I like non-filmi Indian music! I know nothing about it, but I've certainly enjoyed things I've heard from the categories you mention. I can't even remember where I would have stumbled across them...probably on international internet radio stations, which is what I usually fill my days with at work when I'm not listening to filmi music :) Cathyfar, bhangra is Punjabi folk music, I believe associated with harvest (or maybe that's just the dancing?), and it's very, very fun. If you listen to any Bollywood soundtracks, you've definitely heard the bhangra influence; it's very popular lately and gets mixed into dance music by DJs in clubs around the world. If I think about it for awhile, I can send you some Bollywood songs that have bhangra influence; I'm quite ignorant of Indian music outside of filmi stuff, so I'll just hope someone else can respond about bhangra in other settings (because obviously it's much, much more than just filmi!).

Yeah, Bhangra for the most part is completely non-filmi. Yes, you have your Bollywood composers who willl try to leave traces of Bhangra in their music (for various reasons) but seldom will you ever find a total Bhangra track in a Bollywood soundtrack.
The genre strives in North India and even in UK (Punjabi Bhangra is arbuably the second most popular genre of Indian Music heard all around the world). There are internationally recognized artists like Punjabi MC, Sukhshinder Shinde, Malkit Singh, Mikka Singh, Jazzy B... and the list continues.
Actually this style of music is best heard at Indian weddings/receptions, since it's quite easy for people to get their groove on while listening to it. lol. But yes, seldom will you hear a complete bhangra track in bollywood.
