I love ethnic music.  While I’d have to say my favorite flavors are Middle Eastern and East Asian, I rather enjoy a wide variety of the music available from non-U.S. sources.  Indian (both Native American and from India) music is also at the top of my list, hence this post.

The video below is fun.  Sure, it’s not in English, but the music is good in addition to the visuals.  The entire thing is performed atop a moving train.  It’s fascinating to watch for the cultural and creative values it offers.

The title of this song is “Chaiyya Chaiyya.”  Although the song was included in a Bollywood movie called Dil Se (which means “Inside Man,” I believe, or so the YouTube page says), this appears to be the music video for it and not a clip from the film.

That one is via Matt Welch via Gay Orbit, but while I was at YouTube I decided to look around a bit.  That’s when I found this one: “Dola Re.”  It’s a clip from another Bollywood movie entitled Devdas.  It’s visually exciting with entertaining, toe-tapping music.
