		<description><![CDATA[The earliest rock bands in Calcutta originated around the same time when rock music was taking a concrete shape worldwide as contemporary popular music. Live bands in 60s, playing across uptown clubs like Mad House (Park Hotel), Trincas, Moulin Rouge, Macambos and Ferrazinis, started incorporating elements of contemporary music in their performances and rock music was slowly beginning to penetrate the music listening habits of uptown youth of the city.
In 1967, The Flintstones were among the most admired band to play on Park Street. It had Steven Booth, Clayton Saunders, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Ghazal is originally the Persian form of poetry and was originated in Iran in 10th century A.D. It grew from the Persian Qasida (meaning songs of praise), which was a panegyric written in praise of the emperor or his noblemen to later deal with the whole spectrum of human experience; though its central concern is love.  Ghazal is an Arabic word, which literally means ‘talking to a woman’. Since woman is most poets’ muse and the topic of conversation is love, love with its complexity of emotions, notwithstanding the plaintive ...]]></description>

In 2003, BBC World Service conducted an international poll to choose ten most famous songs of all time to mark the 70th anniversary of the BBC World Service. According to BBC, people from 155 countries/islands voted, around 7000 songs were selected and almost 150,000 votes were cast. The song “Dil Dil Pakistan” was third in top 10 songs. The second song on this list was India’s National song – “Vande Matram”. As a result, for some “Dil Dil Pakistan” was equivalent to the National song of Pakistan.

		<description><![CDATA[
By 1996, Junoon had released four albums and had a leading cult following from across the country. Yet the best was still to come. In retrospect, it&#8217;s easy to see why Junoon clicked with a mass audience — they weren&#8217;t as pop oriented as Vital Signs or earlier bands and of all the Pakistani’s bands in early 90s, their sound owed the greatest debt to hard rock. With their riff based sound, sufi- urdu poetry laden lyrics and expansive masterful vocals, Junoon became the forerunner of south Asia’s rock loving ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Rock Street Journal (RSJ) is a hard rock magazine that has been popular in the college circuit for years. Now, they’ve set up a music label to popularise the indigenous bands even more. The idea is to finance a band’s studio album, which they give out free (on cassette) with their magazine. It’s a very laudable idea no doubt. On the consumer side though, it isn’t quite as exciting. Frankly, it’s the magazine that’s really being given free with the album. If you remove a couple of Sam Lal pieces, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With Indian economy seeing massive growth, last decade saw heavy influx of International acts into the country with sponsors putting in money and effort to nurture this segment. There was definitely a magnitude of large commercial possibilities and rock music with decades of alternative presence in urban India was bound to catch early attention from industry practitioners. Lucrative as it may seem, all is not well with this sector of music industry.]]></description>

Ustad Bismillah Khan’s Shehnai Vadan cast a spell on the listeners and even today when the records of his Shehnai are played, those who have watched him play could easily conjure the image of Ustad Bismillah Khan, the irresistible pied piper with twinkling eyes and a winsome grin, holding his beloved instrument to his lips and playing to his heart’s content.
Born on March 21, 1916 in Dumrao (Bihar) Ustad Bismillah Khan, also known as the Shehnai Maestro, ruled the Indian Classical scene for more than eight decades and was famous ...]]></description>
