Early in its career, the band performed covers of popular Hindi songs from that era such as "Jaan Pehechaan Ho"〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaan_Pehechan_Ho )〕 and "Dum Maro Dum".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dum_Maro_Dum_(song) )〕 However, it now composes and performs its own original music, synthesizing Indian classical and folk music with Western styles such as surf, rock and disco. The vocal lines and lyrics to The Bombay Royale's songs are written mostly by lead vocalist Shourov Bhattacharya in Hindi and Bengali. The band also performs songs in English, Tamil, Telugu and Punjabi. The band composes its music collaboratively with major contributions from saxophonist and band leader Andy Williamson, keyboard player Matty Vehl, bassist Bob Knob and guitarist Tom Martin. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Bombay Royale」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
