Indian pop music, sometimes known as Indipop or Hindi pop is pop music of India. Basically, it is Indian folk or classical music, influenced by beats from different parts of the world. Indian pop was reletavely non-existent until the late 1970s to early 1980s. The major push to bring South Asian music into a "pop" motif was Pakistani singer Nazia Hassan.
Western Music
Several Indians have gained popularity in mainstream popular western music, especially rock. In fact, one of the greatest artists in classic Rock, Freddie Mercury, was of Indian origin and started his first band in an Indian boarding school. Other popular rock musicians include Kim Thayil and Dave Baksh. Also, Tony Kanal of the group No Doubt is Indian.
Current artists
Some of the popular Indipop artists include Sonu Nigam, Rageshwari, Bombay Vikings, Colonial Cousins, Asha Bhosle, Sunidi Chauhan Khan, Bombay Rockers, Anu Malik and more recently Raghav, Jay Sean, Rishi Rich, and Bally Sagoo.
Global appeal
Many Punjabi, Indian film and pop songs are finding there way into mainstream American music, like in the case of Britney Spears with Rishi Rich, Jay-Z with Panjabi MC, Timbaland, and Truth Hurts, with her song "Addictive" (for which they were sued for copyright infringement of a Lata Mangeshkar song). The beginning of mainstream Indian music finding its way into America began with the movie Moulin Rouge!. In the movie, the main number, "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend (Hindi)", featured Alka Yagnik's song "Chamma Chamma" from the Indian movie "China-Gate".
Recently Indian pop has taken an interesting turn, with the 'remixing' of oldie songs from past Indian Film songs and adding new beats to them. Most of the Indian music, whether it be Filmi, Classical, Pop or Folk, still incorporates the eternal beats of India, making it one of few pop music cultures, e.g. Turkish and Arabic Music, that keep traditional beat and sound even with the modernization of music.
