Undoubtedly, music is an inseparable part of our lives and many singers have the power to lift the mood or sink within us to the deepest core of our hearts with their exceptional voices. Bappi Lahiri aka Bappi Da was surely one of those artists who made an impact with their music and changed the dynamics of the music industry for good. Born as Alokesh Lahiri on November 27, 1952, in Jalpaiguri, West Bengal. His parents Aparesh Lahiri and Bansuri Lahiri were Bengali musicians, so music was in his blood. He stepped into the world of music at a young age and with his unique sense of music he was able to introduce pop music and synthesise disco music in Indian Cinema and rightfully earned the title of India’s first rockstar and ‘Disco King’. Unfortunately, we lost him on February 15 due to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) at Criticare Hospital in Mumbai. As a tribute to the legendary singer, we curated a list of some of the classic songs of Bappi Lahiri that redefined the Indian music industry.
