Omiya (Kama Sutra) - Who Sings It?
September 6, 2007 7:39 PM Subscribe
Who's the singer in "Omiya" on the Kama Sutra soundtrack? And if I like (love!) that song, what other similar music might you recommend?
I've looked everywhere to find out who's actually singing, because I'd like to hear more of their stuff. The closest I came was here, and I'm guessing it's a vocalist listed in the credits, but which one?
If anyone could elaborate on the style/lyrics/region of the song, that would be great too.

umm..."hindustani" is the hindi word for "indian". Hindustan = India.

Best answer: Shubha Mudgal
Look on iTunes for that name if you want her songs. For example, this.
If you want that style of music, look for hindustani classical music. Indian classical music is of two kinds -- hindustani which is from the north, and carnatic which is from the south. I don't know classical music well enough to explain the differences so I hope those wikipedia links help. I do love it.
Your profile suggest that you are in Columbus, OH. If so, you may find columbuscarnaticmusic.org and swaranjali to be useful. They have a list of upcoming live events.
Hope that helps.

Ummm...There's a difference between Northern Indian and South Indian music. South Indian music is not really classified as Hindustani. It's actually called Carnatic, as Hariya described above.

Response by poster: I think my thank-yous to hariya and stawberryviagra were deleted (?) but I did wonder why some of Shubha's songs were listed as "explicit" on i-Tunes?

Hindustani music, which is typically from the northern part of India.
Raaga.com is a good place to find many different kinds of music from India.
