Asha Bhosle with her late husband / collaborator R. D. Burman.
Asha Bhosle recently completed a 75th birthday tour with a
stop at Carnegie Hall on Thursday, April 17 and a retrospective CD 75 Years of Asha
due out shortly on Times Square records.
Asha has sung for Indian films
since she was ten years old. As a playback singer, she's provided the musical
voice for hundreds of actors. She's recorded thousands of film songs in Hindi and
many regional languages, and won scores of awards from India's film
industry.
But Asha Bhosle is acclaimed as well for her versatility: She sings traditional music
in her native Marathi language, Hindu devotional songs and Urdu ghazals - romantic sung poetry.
Her Indian classical collaboration with Ali Akhbar Khan garnered a Grammy nomination.
She's collaborated with various artists outside Indian music from Boy George to the Kronos Quartet -
and even participated in an 80s UK dance-pop project with with members of Blancmange and
Yazoo called West India Company.
