1. Who and when did the first Hindi Rap Album made? ANSWER: The first Indian rap album is "Thanda Thanda Pani." It was made by Harjeet Singh Sehgal better known as Baba Sehgal. This wasn't his first album though. He had two previous albums. His first Album was Dilruba (1990) followed by Alibaba (1991) but they were not rap but classical Indian music.

!MUSiC!

The **music of India** includes multiple varieties of [|folk], [|popular], [|pop], [|classical music] and [|R&B]. [|India]'s classical [|music] tradition, including [|Carnatic] and [|Hindustani music], has a history spanning millennia and, developed over several eras, it remains fundamental to the lives of Indians today as sources of spiritual inspiration, cultural expression and pure entertainment. India is made up of several dozen [|ethnic groups], speaking their own [|languages] and [|dialects], having very distinct cultural traditions.

I got this in formation from; []

Indian music is very rich and has evolved over centuries. Indian classical music has two traditional branches - Carnatic music and Hindustani music. Carnatic music is predominantly popular in Southern India, where as Hindustani music is found in northern and central India. Apart from these two main branches there are various forms of Indian folk music. Each folk form has evolved in a particular region of India. Prominent among Indian folk forms are: Bhangra (Punjab), Lavani (Maharashtra), Dandiya (Gujarat), Qawwali (Sufi form of devotional music), and Bauls (Bengal). In recent times times Indian music is dominated by bollywood numbers and pop music. Here are some interesting facts on Indian music.

Tuesday, February, 15, 2011 By Domonique Griffin I love the videos but you should tell us what they are about

Tuesday, February 15, 2011 Arnav Chatterjee What other genres are there of modern Indian music? You should describe them. (suggestion: talk about bhangra music)

Wednesday, February 16, 2011 by Arnav Chatterjee Hey, I didn't specifically suggest that video. But I really like the second video of Hindi rap, the one you said reminded you of dharma. It's meaningful, and I liked hearing rhymes in a different language!
