RD Burman - Caravan




With this song from 1971- Piya Tu Ab To Aja, Burman invented a new revolutionary style of music featuring surf guitars, sleazy jazz sax, moody vibes, spanish trumpet, eerie organ playing, a big band and a ridiculous number of breaks, bridges and rhythm changes ...fantastic stuff
