Wolf at Harley Rock Riders Season 3 in Bangalore (concert photography)

-
Legendary Swedish metal band Wolf tore apart music manuals and rewrote the key notes with their own music at the Harley Rock Riders Season III on Nov 24 in Bangalore, India. The event was held at Bangalore's Clarks Exotica and more than three thousand spectators witnessed the unveiling of Harley-Davidson's new asteroid from the Dyna family - the FAT BOB.

The historic association of Harley-Davidson with rock music and its legends gave birth to the annual music property - Harley Rock Riders in India in 2010 to bring motocycling and music together. The season three witnessed the famous names in the rock music scenario like Solder, Albatross, Frank Got The Funk, Kryptos, Galeej Gurus, Boomerang, Light Years, Soulmate and Wolf.

Chador-mekhela, drums, keyboard, guitar, cultural activists, bihu and Being Assamese

Courtesy: Raul de la Nuez Recently, in one of the Bihu functions (April, 2015), one of the leading female singers of Assam was not allowed to sing for not wearing Chador Mekhela by the committee members. (Chador-mekhela is the traditional Assamese dress worn by women.) What I feel personally in that case, even the male singers, including Papon, Zubben, should be asked to wear Dhoti-Kurta or ban them too. Why this unfairly prejudiced view? And all the committee members also should be wearing Dhoti-Kurta or Chador-Mekhela all the time. Do they? Embarrassing moment for Assam and Assamese culture. This is not culture, This is not Bihu. I understand that cloths are integral part of any culture; but cloths alone can't defy culture. If one has to follow one of the cultural aspects with full devotion, he has to follow everything with complete honesty and sincerity. That means, if one has to wear mekhela-chador to defy bihu, she can't actually use keyboard, guitar or drums in bih...

Pork, Naga pork and pork chops in Bangalore

When I landed in Bangalore in 2006, the first thing I noticed was inaccessibility of restaurants or food joints serving pork items. I had always been a die hard fan of meat - specially pork. And it became more important for me to search for an eatery that has excellent 'pork' service than a job or a cot with roof. It took me almost six years before I could make a list of handful of eating joints where one can get an impressive menu of pork dishes. I got the taste of Naga pork (pork from Nagaland), Chinese pork, Thai pork (pork from Thailand), Italian pork and pork momos. Below are few joints where one can get hold of these. This is to help people who come mainly from North-East India to Bangalore in search of job. They would rather spend (waste) their time searching for work and a structure that provides privacy than pork. The Naga Kitchen (Try smoked pork with bamboo shoot or smoked pork thali) Koramangala 112, 6th Cross, 6th Block, Koramangala, Bangalore - 080 4167...

Copied songs of Bollywood - music piracy?

-

There are hundreds of songs in Bollywood which are directly copied, adopted or inspired from other songs. Some of these songs saw huge success in the Bollywood film industry. What I don't understand is, where we have certain music directors who have been engaged in making their own music and mark, how can another bunch think of coping the tunes of some other songs and present as their own work? Well, below are few very famous Hindi film songs which got the popularity among Indian people, but actually were adopted or copied from works by other musicians and music directors. Original song TAK BISAKAH from the album Alexandria (2005) by Peterpan ZIGEUNERJUNGE released as a single in 1967 by Alexandra (Doris Treitz Nefedov) YA GHALI (Arabic song) from the album Qissati (2002) by Guitara AH REUM DA OON SA RAM from the Korean series Nae ireumeun Kim Sam-soon (2005) by Seo Yoo Suk RETURN TO THE ALAMO (an instrumental track) from the album Tasty (1977) by The Shadows (Orches...
