Kailash Kher's Kailasa - Indian Pop/Rock/Bollywood
There is no greater star in Indian popular music today than Kailash Kher, a revered singer whose prodigious vocal gifts and inspiring personality have made him a household name across the subcontinent. Kailash Kher’s meteoric rise from a humble upbringing outside of New Delhi to being appointed a judge for the 2008-09 season of Indian Idol is nothing less than remarkable. It is also a testament to the strength and appeal of what is undeniably one of the most unique voices in Indian music today.
While Kailash studied Classical Indian music in his early years, it was the traditional folk songs sung by his father that exerted the most influence on the young artist. In 2001, after a foray into the business world, Kailash left New Delhi for Mumbai, home to the highly competitive Bollywood film and music industry. Kailash’s first recording was an advertising jingle for a diamond company, made for the equivalent of $100. After recording a handful of jingles, the raw, earthy and soulful strength of his voice caught the attention of every production house and film composer in Mumbai. By 2004, Kailash had been catapulted to stardom, performing on some of the biggest hits in Bollywood. Kailash has been heard in over sixty soundtracks and near two hundred jingles.
After being introduced to brothers Naresh and Paresh Kamath, fixtures of the Indian rock and jazz scene, they formed Kailash Kher’s Kailasa, combining Kailash’s strong traditional folk sensibilities and lyrics that invoke Sufi-mystical dimensions with Naresh and Paresh’s more modern rock, electronic and funk influences. Kailasa can be heard to best advantage on their first American release, for the elite Cumbancha Records imprint. The superb “Yatra (Nomadic Souls)” features re-recorded and remixed classics alongside never released new material.

Great News for Buyers and Sellers with current mortgage rates!!!
30-year mortgage rate edges down to new low
July 8, 2010 | 7:12 am
Another week, another record low mortgage rate. Just barely.
The average interest rate for a 30-year fixed loan in this week's Freddie Mac survey was 4.57%, down from 4.58% a week earlier.
According to the big mortgage buyer, that was the lowest rate in the 39-year history of the survey, which asks lenders that work with Freddie about popular combinations of rates and fees they are offering to consumers.
However, Freddie's national survey of offering rates showed the average 15-year fixed rate loan
rising from 4.04% to 4.07%.
The survey, released Thursday morning, asks the lenders what rates they are quoting to well-qualified buyers who have a 20% down payment or 20% equity in their homes if they are refinancing.
The lenders said the borrowers would have paid 0.7% of the loan amount in fees to obtain the fixed rates.
Variable mortgage interest rates were slightly lower.
Freddie said the five-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage averaged 3.75% this week, with an average 0.7% in fees, down from last week when it averaged 3.79%.
This rate was also an all-time low since 2005, when Freddie Mac began tracing the popular loan option, which has a fixed rate for the first five years.
The one-year Treasury-indexed ARM averaged 3.75% with an average 0.7% in fees, down from 3.80% last week.
Well-qualified borrowers who shop around or pay additional points upfront often can get better rates than those in the survey.
