IN LOVING MEMORY: BAPPI LAHIRI (1952-2022)
Planet LA Records has had the great honor of releasing Bappi Lahiri’s original compositions since 2010. He is a legend who established a career as one of Bollywood’s most successful and prolific composers. He has won over millions of adoring fans in India and worldwide with songs that inspire people to dance, sing, pray and heal.
We are so grateful to have supported his efforts starting with “World Peace Love Harmony” his sincere call for peace, “Walking on Love Street” a jazzy collaboration with jazz greats, “Tal Taarang” which showcases his talent on tabla drums and songs in collaboration with Julia Price, “Bappi Lounge” which features modern club beats, “Slum Stars” in support of children and those less fortunate. “Jai Ganesha” is his spiritual tribute to Lord Ganesha and “Divine Power” his heavenly tribute to Lord Krishna.
Om Shanti Bappi-da. You are dearly missed!
