In conclusion

This time we focused mainly on popular Indian songs, and while choosing the tracks, I realized how much the Indian music scene values music videos.

Didn’t you get the same impression? It’s probably because of India’s distinctive dance culture that there’s such a strong emphasis on MVs, and as I mentioned at the beginning, a big part of it is the successful harmony between traditional music and contemporary styles.
