Hmm... Still havent got our response #5 to give away the autographed SaazMantra CD. Let me repeat the question. What is the name of the Sufi Poet that SaazMantra's song Rashq Ki has a couplet from ? Send the answer to indianmusicpodcast at gmail dot com and we'll mail the autographed CD to you.

Cheers

Congrats Sonal ! Yes, the female singer for "Main Tumse Hoon" is indeed Ranjini. We will be mailing you an autographed CD as soon as we get your mailing address.

The other contest is still open. We havent got the 5th respondent with the correct answer yet. So do send in your answer, and who knows you might be the lucky one. (And dont worry if you are not in the US - wherever in the world you are, we'll get the CD to you) So what are you waiting for ?

Finally ! You get to meet SaazMantra and their beautiful songs. And dont forget, there are two opportunities to win autographed CDs from this duo that is on the verge of the big league. So send in the answers to the easy questions at the earliest or you'll be ruing it when its really hard to get their autographs ! And their CDs :)

Enjoy !

Hello everyone, Due to a small family medical emergency, posting of show #10 is getting delayed. I should be able to post it in a couple of days (maybe even earlier). You'll get to hear SaazMantra, who are poised to hit the big time (they've already been signed by a big label). Which label ? Find that and much much more when I post the show.

Also you would be the very first ones to get to listen to some really fresh music that they are still developing for their next album

We'll be giving away CDs for answering really simple questions. So take positions and get ready to type out the answers. (Hint : visit their website and read up on them. go to http://www.saazmantra.com)

First of a series of Music Appreciation Shows. Started to analyze how Rock 'n' Roll has influenced Hindi Film Music. The show gradually became an Anand Milind show !! :)

We're not going to change the name of the Podcast. However the 5 free songs are still up for grabs. The first person to send me an email asking for the songs, gets them.

And don't forget, next week is an interview with Saazmantra with lots of giveaways.
