Ganaga : Nitin Bali

Couple of years back Nitin Bali released Baliwood, a collection of evergreen Kishore Kumar tracks, remixed. Neele Neele Ambar became a huge hit, and Bali, who earlier tried to make his mark in the Indipop scene with a couple of mediocre bhangra albums, ended up creating a niche form of remixing, which maintains the melody of the original song, and concentrates more on enhancing the vocals.

Nitin Bali started his career at Zee TV as a Production Coordinator and continued for 3 years. An offer from Channel [V] gave him a great opportunity to further his creative talents.

Bali is one of the few artistes in the remix scene today, who seems to be experimenting with not-so-popular evergreen songs -- and this seems to give a fresh feel to his albums. His voice has a certain depth and maturity, which seem to blend with the vocals of the late 70s and the 80s. With two albums in the Baliwood series already under his belt, he has created his own space in the Indipop landscape. The "giving new life to the melody, rather than the accomplishments" funda seems to be doing wonders to his musical career.
