Songs -
This month’s theme is ‘Desi Indie’ (click on the text to access the full playlist directly on Youtube music). These are some desi (Indian subcontinent) songs in their wide scope with genres ranging from metal to electronic, classical to rock, a lot of fusion, and a lot of fun. Definitely NOT an exhaustive list. Here’s the link again -
