Mumbai, June 28: Gone are the days when independent musicians or bands were on centrestage and music lovers revelled in songs like "Mai ri" and "Sayonee". Now, "manipulated" Bollywood hit numbers not only whet the appetite of listeners but also overshadow non-film music and budget constraint makes survival tougher, musicians say.
The 1990s were ripe for music bands and independent musicians. The era saw the emergence of bands like Euphoria, Silk Route, Aryan, Junoon and Stereo Nation which carved a niche for themselves.
During the same period, pop singers like Alisha Chinnoy, Falguni Pathak, Lucky Ali, Bali Brahmbhatt, Shaan, Daler Mehdi, Adnan Sami, Mika and Baba Sehgal rose on the music firmament and earned name and fame.
