Review of Indian Brass Bands

The piece was able to convey the importance of brass bands in various native cultural events, such as parades, festivals, weddings, etc. The sounds were rich and the bands varied in style. Interviews explained the history well. Question: Who knows what the last song to the end the piece, a famous Bollywood film number, says in its lyrics? Well, I know, and must admit it's quite an unusual choice to perform at weddings.
