Hindi dance songs
Encyclopedia
Hindi dance songs are now widely heard around the world. They first became popular among overseas Indians
and were eventually discovered by others.
The filmi
music and dances in Bollywood
films are a synthesis of formal and folk Indian traditional music
and dance traditions, with the infusion of Western
techniques. The dances on older Hindi movies
represented supposed dances of the common people, although they involved original choerography. The Bollywood dances have evolved as a unique and energetic style. Since they are group dances, they are often used as joyful exercise music
.
The choreography
of Bollywood dances takes inspiration from Indian folk dances, classical dances (like kathak
) as well as disco
and from earlier Hindi filmi dances.
Among the modern choreographers the notable are:
Tu kahe agar Andaz
The dancer dances in a combination of the Indian and Middle eastern
styles, while the hero
plays a piano.
If you will ask, if you will ask,
If you will ask, all my life,
I will keep singing
I will keep playing my instrument

Chaiyya Chaiyya from Dil Se
The Chaiyya Chaiyya
song serves as the opening and close of the recent Hollywood movie Inside Man
. The song is known for the A.R. Rahman's music, the words are somewhat mysterious (video search, direct link).
Whose head is in the shade of love, heaven is under his feet.
Walk in the shade, remain in the shade,
in the shade, in the shade.
Like the songs of Mirabai or works of several sufi poets, this song is dvayashraya kavya
, it can be interpreted in two ways; as a worldly love song, or a song for the beloved lord. Note that in India, the sun is often very hot, and thus shade provides comforting shelter.
Nimbooda from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam
Lime! lime! lime!
Get some tart little limes.
Go to the farm and get some green limes. (video search)
The limes are usually called lemons in Indian English
. Rajasthani dialect is used for some of the words. The song is supposed to be a dialog between village girls and boys. Limes are often used to ward off evil eye
in India.
