Everyone has a tune or a song in their head that they like to hum in different situations. Himesh Reshamiya, did put it perfectly when he sang and composed “Mann ka Radio” from the movie “Radio”. Yet, Hindi movies might not give you a perfect combination of lyrics, music and voice for all plausible situations in which you might require a song to either express an emotion or enjoy it better. Independent musicians serve the purpose over here since they bring together sometimes long lost poets to mainstream or at times focus on music from unknown corners of our country. Here are five platforms from where you can get access to latest Indie music from India and abroad:
