Channel [V] Jammin

About 6 years ago, Channel [V] came up with this interesting concept of an album by bringing together up and coming singers of different genres to create a fusion album. The series also sparked 10 half hour episodes which chronicled the conception of the song to the final version. The singers included
Strings, Sagarika, Euphoria, Mehnaaz, Taufiq Quereshi, Pentagram ( yes Vishal and Shekar), Parikrama, Usha Uthup, Shaan, Sukhbir, KK, Suneetha Rao, Alms for Shanti, Vasundhara Das, Abbey, Ashutosh-Dhruv, Vedic Chant, Silk Route, Sanjay Maroo and Shankar Mahadevan.

I have been trying to scout some of the videos on youtube and here are some..

Euphoria and Mehnaaz, Rok sako to rok lo..

This song was a tribute to team India.



Shaan and Sukhbir, Deewana



My favorite, Pentagram and Usha Uthup, Rhythm and Blues.



Saagarika and Strings, Pal

I've been looking for "Tide" by Vasundhara Das and Ashutosh-Dhruv! That was an awesome song too. I've been trying to get a copy of this album for a very long time now... Thanks for posting.

this was a very cool concept. and i have most of the songs. but i couldn't find this one i remember..

i think it had shankar mahadevan n someone else and it was about the heat. went like...garam garam hawa chali shehar mein dekho aa gaya hai mausam garmi ka.. if u could send me that it would be brilliant! my email add is aaahhhh@gmail.com...

my personal favorite was the Alms for Shanti one. Super Bowl it was right?

also...it wasnt pentagram n usha uthup...it was parikrama n usha uthup.

every time i see parikrama in concert they play that song. so im pretty sure of that :)

I bought the cassette of this album sometime in 2002, over the years I converted it to digital format sometime in 2006. I was thinking to blog about the song 'Wind' and came here somehow. If anyone needs a copy, drop in a line to junkeroftheweb at gmail
