Halal Bollywood music/nasheed ideas?

We won’t be having any music containing instruments at my wedding, so I’m currently looking for nasheeds to play particularly during the bride & grooms entrances. Also, I was wondering if there is such a thing as versions of well-known Bollywood songs but without the music?? The daff would be fine, just no other types of instruments please :slight_smile:

Thanks alot :wink:

Check out Imran Dahya on Youtube.

There was a similar thread floating around here not so long ago, so you can do a search for that to give you more ideas.

You’ve heard of Penn Masala, right? The Indian acapella group? I know of someone who played one of their acapella songs(Jashne Bahara) for her bridal entrance because she also did not want any music instruments. It was cool b/c it sounded almost like music, but it was just their voices and kept it “halal” for her.You can download a bunch of Penn Masala’s tracks, you’ll find tons of bollywood ones with no music instrument.

I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t like 'em so you can’t go wrong with their tracks.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR_oK2buZEk)

Oooh, no I’d never heard of Penn Masala before but I just checked out some of their stuff briefly on Youtube and I have to say I’m very impressed! But where can I download/see all their Bollywood stuff, as some of their songs on Youtube are kinda low quality and obv burning to a CD would decrease the quality further…

Yeah, they’re really good, aren’t they? Here’s a link to a few of their audio files(a couple of them are bollywood): Penn Masala Mp3 Download
Besides that, you should just do a google search and I’m sure you’ll find some sites where you can download for free.
Also, this is their official website:
Penn Masala

It’s perfect for people who don’t want any music or instruments b/c their voices add enough “background music” to the singing.
