Unbeknownst to many, the Indian cinema industry--not Hollywood--is the biggest movie industry in the world. Bollywood isn't just movies, though; music and dance are just as much a part of Indian cinema as the narrative itself. And for the growing legions of Bollywood music fans, there's no better place to go than Radio Teen Taal. Based in Paris, the station is further proof of Bollywood's growing international appeal. Much of the site is in French, and all of the songs are in Hindi or another one of India's countless languages. If you like Bollywood, though, you probably know that the language barrier isn't that difficult to overcome. Radio Teen Taal plays the kind of infectious, bouncy Bollywood music that transcends cultures and borders, and, almost without fail, will make anybody wanna get up from the couch and dance.
You can find Radio Teen Taal in the Bollywood genre of the SHOUTcast Radio Directory.
We ordered in some curry and settled in to Radio Teen Taal on a Friday afternoon, and here are some of the tunes we danced to:
