Magic of Indian Music

Music. It is not just striking the chords on guitar or hitting the sticks on the drums or blowing the air in trumpet or moving the fingers on piano or shouting on mic. It is an art which brings out emotions. It heals deepest of sorrows. It helps to express the feelings. Music is a sound for a dumb and a medicine for an ill. Music works as a bridge between the people of different countries. Music simply creates magic. And the people who creates music are magicians. The musicians are talented artists and they create magic with their hands or their voice.



There are so many types of music. Rock, Jazz, Pop are the few genres which are known worldwide but I think each and every country has its own genre of music. India is a land of classical music. Classical music was born in this country. As India is a land of classical music so it is not like you will find only classical music here. You will find every genre of music but there will be a classical touch in every genre. India is also known for bollywood music and indipop but these two genres are also built on the roots of classical music. Oh! I just disclosed my favourite genres of music. Yes! Bollywood and indipop are my favourite genres in music.

Music industry is pretty well established in India and it is ruled by bollywood music. Other genres (like indipop) & types of music also contributes in it but to an extent only. There are lots of singers, musicians, music directors and bands in this country. They create some awesome music. With their music they bring out all the emotions out of you. They help you to express your love, your grief, your agony, your patriotism, your loneliness etc. The singers in this country touches your soul with their magical voice. While the musicians complements them with their magical music.



Among singers Shankar Mahadevan is my favourite. He is a music director as well. He is the master of classical music. He can sing every type of song. Apart from Shankar Mahadevan, there are singers like Sonu Nigam, Arijit Singh, Mika, Sukhwinder Singh etc. who are equally versatile. Among the music directors there is Amit Trivedi, Pritam, Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy, Salim, Suleiman etc. who brings best out of musicinas and ultimately helps you to express. If I talk about indipop then in that Indian ocean & Euphoria are my favourite bands. They have set the standards of music in indipop. Apart from Indian ocean & Euphoria, There are bands like Pentagram and Ayushmann Bhava who are taking the  indipop music to the next level.

In short Indian music industry is the most varied and vivid music industry in the world. And the kind of magic Indian music creates I don't any other music in the world creates such kind of magic.
