6. Puneri Dhol
Bollywood music is great, but nothing can capture the live boom of tens of live Dhols and Tashsa. Give a listen to this real immersion kick-off from Mumbai. I can listen to this music all day through the ten days, but please spare me the chickni chameli!
7. Deva Ho Deva
There are a number fo songs added each year and this year has been no different. The latest additions to the festive Ganesh songs is Deva Ho Deva from the movie Bhikari sung by Sukhwinder Singh.
8. Bappa
Once of the better ones released late last year was from the movie Banjo starring Riteish Deshmukh and composed by Vishal Deshmukh. The song uses the style of famous Mumbai banjo bands.
9. Ya Re Ya
This song was released last year just before the Ganesh festival and became as popular as the movie Ventilator produced by Priyanka Chopra. The composition uses the traditional Dhol with minum instruments and is diametrically opposite to the composition of Banjo.
10. Aala Re Aala Ganesha
No portrait movie of Mumbai can be complete without a glimpse of the Ganesh festival and this fresh track comes from the new movie Daddy based on Arun Gawli. The composition by Sajid-Wajid is more Bollywood than traditional.
