Music had been integral to the culture's staged drama going back to the Gupta Dynasty — sometime between the 4 th and 6 th Century CE. Since its inception, South Asian cinema drew heavily from Marathi, Parsi, and Bengali musical theatre and silent film screenings were often accompanied by live music …

"Was Drosselbart a Krautrock band just because they came from Munich like Amon Düül, sang in German and released their first and only album on a major German record label in 1971?
'No,' says Monika Vincent-Gunia aka Jemima, Drosselbart's singer. 'We were the first punk band in Germany. The guys in the band could only play three chords, maybe four, but they were burning with enthusiasm'.
However, Drosselbart's music on the album of the same name has very little to do with the punk of the mid-seve…
