It's been a while since I last deejayed Bollywood music so I'm super excited about my next event: an all night marathon of Indian pop in Gromka. For this occasion I'm bringing out one of my alter egos, Shanti Priya, who will play the finest tunes of Bollywood, and my girls from Ljubljana's Bollywood dance group will hit the dance floor and transform the club into an Indian movie fairytale. Or a wedding party:)
Anyway, I'm declaring this May to be my Bollywood month. On the 1st of May I joined the shooting of a Bollywood movie as an extra. Yes, in Slovenia :) On the 23rd of May I'm organizing a Bollywood dance workshop in Yoga Studio Sadhana. On the 30th of May; Om Shanti Om in Gromka and I'm also going to London with Kaname K from Trinitron (let's not go into details, but it's a bit Bollywood-ish, me and Kaname together).
So, my heart feels like dancing :)
"woh banda hi kya hain, jho naache na gaaye
aa haaton mein tu hath thaam le
oi dance pe chance marle, oh soniya dance pe chance marle"
what kind of person is that, who doesn't dance and sing
come hold my hand in your hand
take a chance on dance, o sweetie take a chance on dance.

OM SHANTI OM
Klub Gromka
Metelkova
May 30th 2013
23.00.-4.00
Na
ta večer se bo v Gromko naselil košček Indije. Indijski pop v najbolj
žlahtnem pomenu besede. Glasba, ki živi na filmskih platnih, glasba ki
živi na ulicah. Glasba, ki vsebuje prah razbeljenih indijskih cest in
vonj soparnih azijskih noči. Potovali bomo prek zgodovine Bollywooda od
najlepših zimzelenih melodij pa vse do superhitov sobodnega časa.
Posebno opozorilo: Vstop na lastno odgovornost! Če se bojiš zaplesati,
se Gromki raje izogni v ogromnem loku, kajti tveganje za izgubo nadzora
nad telesom je preveliko.
Za
vzpodbudo tistim pogumnejšim pa se nam bodo pridružile tudi bollywood
plesalke, ki bodo večer popestrile s čudovitimi koreografijami iz
indijskih filmov, za nameček pa še s kako orientalsko.
Za glasbo bo poskrbela Shanti Priya.
opp: Bollywood je skovanka iz besed Bombay in Hollywood in označuje eno
največjih filmskih industrij na svetu. Najmočnejša aduta filmov,
nastalih na Indijski podcelini sta ravno glasba in ples, ki ne manjkata v
nobeni zgodbi. V koreografijah se vrhunski plesalci gibljejo prek
indijskih klasičnih stilov, dvornih plesov kurtizan, ljudskih rajanj
indijskega bogatega folklornega izročila pa vse do hiphopa in njegovih
MTVjevskih derivatov. Tudi bollywood glasba je od svojega rojstva s
prvim indijskim zvočnim filmom leta 1931 doživela že nešteto preobrazb.
Od klasične glasbe sitarjev do funka in r'nb ja, od pobožnih bhajanov do
elektronskih štanc, od ghazalov do hip-hopa in od najbolj mastnih
punjabi beatov do srce parajočih balad.

I also want to post some songs that I keep listening to again and again and can't get enough of them for months.
The first one is Kuchi Kuchi and Kumar Sanu's voice is just too sexy to handle, somehow:)
The second song is Khaike Paan Banaraswala, it's a party song. Why? Because the hero gets high on paan and bhang he gets while hanging out with the crowd from Varanasi.
"Eating paan from Banaras opens up the locks on your brain."
The third song is a romantic one. I fell in love with Aamir Khan when I heard this song and since then I can't stop watching his movies.
"Sleep doesn't come to me. I don't have any peace. My situation is uncontrollable, nobody know what ail I suffer from. I don't know where I lost my heart..."
The fourth song is a big hit from 2011/12. Why this kolaveri di. Performed by Dhanush, the cutest actor in the world. Well, I have to admit I watched only 20 minutes of one of his movies. But it was enough to make this statement :)
"Why this Killer rage?"
The fifth song is Mhare Hiwda Mein Naache Mor. We did this choreography at Bollywood dance lessons with an amazing teacher Sylvia Valentine. It was a really precious time for me, attending these classes, so this song will always stay in my heart.
And the last one for now, Pardesi Pardesi. It broke my heart just recently. A 90's classic.
"I won't tell you not to love some traveler, but don't trust one... Foreigner my friend, keep your promise. Remember me, don't forget somehow..."
Byebye!
