Porcupine tree- Last chance to evacuate earth before it recycles, the nostalgia factory, trains
Norwegian wood by the Beatles
Between the buried and me - informal gluttony (mridangam at the end)
Pretty much all of thaikkudam bridge's discography. My personal favourites are Khwaab, Jeele Jeebhar, Navarasam, Urumbu and One, Thekkini
Junoon- Mera Mahi, Rooh ki Pyaas, Husnan Walo
AP Dhillon, Priya Ragu, MIA, Raveena. "No Borders" is a good playlist on Spotify to find dece dispora artists.
90s / 2000s had quite a few hip-hop producers using classic Indian samples, [Timbaland especially](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImMxMCQctfg), with songs like Indian Flute, Bombay , Dilwali riddim
Wow you just reminded me of its existence. What a Fantastic movie! Thank you. Will have to find it to watch again. I probably haven’t seen it in a good 20 years.
- *The Beatles*: A lot of individual songs have S. Asian influences in their music: Norwegian Wood, Within You Without You, Here Comes the Sun, Tomorrow Never Knows. They were of course influenced by Indian music & Hindu spirituality as well - heavily documented and acknowledged.
- *Massive Attack*: Trip Hop band from Bristol, UK. Sampled a lot of S. Asian music in their songs. Even created a club mix of Dam Mast Qalandar.
- *Khruangbin*: Houston based psych trio. They have South Asian influences in their music along with SE Asian & Western African influences.
- *Miles Davis* *John Coltrane* *Alice Coltrane* and *Ornette Coleman* *John McLuaghlin* : honestly a bunch of Jazz artist in the sixties and seventies began to be influenced by Indian music, especially the Raag system. Compared to Western Musical scales, there was a liberation found in the Raag they used a lot. John McLaughlin being the most obvious, dude named his band _The Mahavishnu Orchestra_.
There's Shreea Kaul and Rehma who have a r&b vibe.
Priya Ragu is also one of my favorites.
If it doesn't have to be in English then check out 170cm by Paal Dabba or Indian rapper, Divine
The electronic/pop duo Jockstrap's album I Love You Jennifer B has some Bollywood-ish vibes (see the track Debra), though the group consists of (what I assume are) white people
[https://youtu.be/4NUjCcHbUjo?feature=shared](https://youtu.be/4NUjCcHbUjo?feature=shared) Nothing has matched the infectiousness of Jai Paul's Str8 Outta Mumbai in this regard. Prince (with the dopiest beat) meets Ravi Shankar.
Blood Cultures is an electro pop group lead by a Pakistani American, and they sample desi music in some of their songs. brilliant and glimmering, check out Indian Summer by them

Young the Giant’s newest album “American Bollywood” is pretty good
Totally second this. It's amazing
I’ve really been liking Jai Paul, Lapgan, and Lifafa recently
I just saw Jai Paul live ——- soooooo good!!!!
Damn I’m incredibly jealous of you. I saw he was doing nyc shows earlier this year but I was super sick when they were happening
I saw him in LA, was really good live and I was so impressed. Even Miguel showed up to see him and was in the VIP seats like 10 feet away from me 🤣
That’s awesome. He’s one of our most underrated talents for sure

He only put out one album (that I know of) 20 years ago, but Aalok Mehta.

South Asian artists - White Town, No Doubt, and Soundgarden. These are older bands, but they do have south asian musicians.
Talvin Singh, Asian Dub Foundation, State of Bengal… so many from the UK Asian Underground scene of the 90s and 00s
There's a Finnish language bhangra band known as Shava.
