Aaroh Vintage Bollywood WAV
Highlighting four decades of Hindi Film Music soundtracks, Vintage Bollywood is a carefully curated collection of some of the most iconic and beloved sounds from the golden era of Hindi cinema. We recorded compositions for this pack in iconic Mumbai studios with a 15+ piece orchestra to achieve the authentic Bollywood sound for modern producers to use in their projects. This pack highlights melodic and percussive stacks composed and arranged for flexibility and inspiration. Instrumentation in this pack includes a string orchestra, Western & Latin percussion, Indian percussion, mandolin, guitars, sitar, bansuri, and vocals.
Hindi film music, also known as Bollywood music, is an integral part of Indian culture and has a rich history dating back to the early 20th Century. The music, which encompasses songs accompanied by choreographed dances, played a pivotal role in the success of Hindi films. Bollywood music has endured popular appeal and cultural value through the years with composers including/blending influences ranging from latin and middle eastern music to Western pop, rock and blues.
For Vintage Bollywood we pulled various iconic pieces of analogue and retro hardware to craft an authentic collection of samples that capture and recreate the sonics of vintage Bollywood. Compositions were written, produced and inspired in the style of music found in popular 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s Hindi films. The highlight of the collection includes loops and one-shots processed to vintage Ampex tape machine and pressed to vinyl for authentic retro warmth and dusty sonics.
