Tonight on Bodega Pop on WFMU's Give the Drummer Radio: South Asia lost its greatest voice on Sunday with the passing of revered Bollywood playback singer, Lata Mangeshkar. Lata’s career began before the partition and she continued to record, if sporadically, into the 21st century. This tribute will focus on her greatest tracks, from her first major hits of the late 1940s to rare but standout performances of the 1990s.
