Music Video LinksArtist BiographyAvailable in:
The world fusion British desi band Monsoon was a pioneering "indi-pop" band featuring vocalist Sheila Chandra. The band was formed in 1981 and combined melodies and instruments from India with British pop of the 80s. Though several groups had played with Indian influences before, most notably The Beatles, Monsoon was the first British group with Indian classical and pop music as their main influences to reach a general audience. Monsoon dissolved though after only one album because they did not like the interference they were getting from their record label. Chandra went on to a successful solo career and Monsoon, though short lived, inspired the Asian Underground movement that started with such artists as Joi, Bally Sagoo and Talvin Singh.
