Cover of
"Chucho Kattar Biye" |
|
Sorcar released "Chucho
Kattar Biye" in 1986 into the Indian market and later
tapped into the western world. The production consists of six original
songs, which were all sung by the Sorcar family. After releasing
this production into the market, the Sorcar family received hundreds
of letters from parents and children all across the world talking
about the culture clash and difficulties raising second generation
children outside of India. Sorcar's music
was recognized by many as a cultural icon that represented the struggle
to teach second generation children about their roots. His music
was a happy bridge between the East and West that created a sense
of harmony between the two cultures and is especially popular with
young children. His tunes are still heard on the radio in India.
Sorcar's daughters were age 5 and 7 when they sang in this production
and later released music videos shown on American CableVision through
a two part series titled "East Meets I" and "East
Meets II". Some of the music videos were compiled into
a video production titled "Children's
Songs and Dances from India". Both the music videos
and this music production can be purchased through
this site.
