Indipop

Indipop
Indipop
 
[englisch, 'ɪndɪpɔp], 1982 ausgehend von London zu kurzzeitiger Popularität gelangter und nach dem initiierenden Plattenlabel gleichen Namens bezeichneter Popmusiktrend, der zu den Wegbereitern der Worldmusic gehörte. Dabei handelte es sich im Kern um eine mit Elementen indischer Musik angereicherte Version des britischen Synthi-Pop, wie sie am erfolgreichsten durch die um die Sängerin Sheila Chandra (* 1955) formierte Band Monsoon vertreten wurde, die 1982 mit »Ever So Lonely« und »Shakti (The Meaning of Within)« das Modell für diesen Musikmix lieferten. Es war vor allem Sheila Chandra, die sich mit ihren Solo-Alben »Quiet« (1984) und, nach mehrjähriger Pause, »Roots and Wings« (1990) um eine solche Synthese aus westlicher Popmusik und indischer klassischer Musiktradition verdient gemacht hat, auch wenn deren Popularität ab Mitte der Achtzigerjahre wieder auf die in Großbritannien lebenden Jugendlichen indischer Abstammung begrenzt blieb.
