It was a musical cocktail born in a marketing meeting: Two parts easy listening, one part jazz, a healthy dollop of conga drums, a sprinkling of bird calls, and a pinch of textless choir. Serve garnished with an alluring female on the album jacket for bes

Rupa's amazing cosmic Bollywood / funk / disco / Balearic, 'Disco Jazz', masterpiece from 1982.
