context_page_description: Indian pop music, also known as Indi-pop, I-pop, or Hindi-pop, refers to pop music produced in India that is independent from filmi soundtracks for Indian cinema, such as the music of Bollywood, which tends to be more popular. Indian pop is closely linked to Bollywood, and the Asian Underground scene of the United Kingdom. The variety of South Asian music from different countries are generally known as Desi music. Pop music originated in the South Asian region with the playback singer Ahmed Rushdi's song ‘Ko Ko Korina’ in 1966 and has since then been adopted in India, Bangladesh, and lately Sri Lanka, and Nepal as a pioneering influence in their respective pop cultures. Following Rushdi's success, Christian bands specialising in jazz started performing at various night clubs and hotel lobbies in Karachi, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Dhaka and Lahore. They would usually sing either famous American jazz hits or cover Rushdi's songs.
