I also bought, among other things, my first Fateh Ali Khan album ever and was completely blown away by how fan-fucking-tastic it is.

Don't bother buying bootlegs, since if you can get to an Indian neighborhood you can find legal CDs for pretty cheap, not to mention cassettes for ridiculously cheap. A lot of them are on RPG, or EMI-India. Any of the CDs on the endless "Golden Collection" series are probably recommended. I'd have to check my shelf when I get home to be more specific.
Asha is so NOT Madonna. Actually it's a crime to say "Asha is the Indian version of _____"--she's so ubiqitous it would be more appropriate to say "____ is the ____ version of Asha."

Search "Piya Tu Ab Tu Aaja"- byAsha Bhosle
which has kind of a spaghetti western sound and features her husband and producer RD (Rahul Dev) Berman shouting "Monica! Oh, my darling!"

Saw Asha last night with an orchestra (and her 14 year-old grand-daughter) finish her set with "dum maro dum." Not bad for 82. She did Bollywood numbers, a ghazal or 2, a song from her sister, and some other stuff. Her voice still has range, although it's not what it once was

RIP Lata Mangeshkar. End of an era. And what an incredible era — she sang for nearly eight decades. Thousands of songs. The legend, the eternal voice of Bollywood https://t.co/oOmp8Lq34M— Geeta Dayal (@geetadayal) February 6, 2022
