Judaism is (& long has been) a tiny minority in India, probably comprising no more than several hundred souls in Bombay before the creation of Israel in the 40s. But that doesn't mean there wasn't room for a musical community. Bombay was also the center of the recording industry for most of the far east and Asia during the 78 era, so it's not so outrageous that some shellac was pressed. Some of these songs were made specifically for music schools, while others featured players who went on to perform on hit Bollywood soundtracks (the mandolin player from 'Baiju Bawra' no less!). These songs are less arabic sounding & remind more of cantorial & klezmer tunes than the preceeding volume, but are certainly no less vivid.
