Hindi dance music

The music became popular among overseas Indians in places such as South Africa, Mauritius, Fiji, the Caribbean, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and the United States of America and eventually developed a global fan base.

[1] While Hindi dance music forms part of the music of Hindi cinema, the wide-based genre songs became popular by the early-to-mid-2000s after the worldwide success of the song "Mundian To Bach Ke" which charted in various international music charts, and other famous dance songs such as "Kajra Re".

[2] By the late 2000s, Hindi dance music attained worldwide recognition following the success of the Oscar-winning song "Jai Ho".

The filmi music and dances in Hindi films are a synthesis of formal and folk Indian traditional music and dance traditions, in fusion with Middle Eastern techniques.

[3] The style of dance has also highly influenced international artists and appears in songs such as "Don't Phunk with My Heart", "Come & Get It", "Legendary Lovers", "Bounce" and "Never Give Up" as well as EDM hit "Lean On", "Biba", "Goosebump" (which is soundtrack of Kung Fu Yoga), "Show" and Eurovision-winning song "Toy".
