Pachema Se Gara:
I really enjoyed "Pachem Se Gara" by Anoushka Shankar. It has a form of funk and spunk. This “funk” that I refer to is the way in which the rhythm makes one want to move and dance. I also like how when you listen to this type of music, you get a sense of the modern hip hop and R&B feel in the songs.

I, however, am not a big rock and roll type of guy. I am more of a island music and country type so I am not used to hearing these loud and yelling types of songs.
When listening to The Beatles by Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Heart Club Band I have observed various elements of traditional Indian music. The following are what I have
