Julian Futter, a record producer, was given a stack of vintage 78s six years ago. He knew little about them save that they featured music originating from Iraqi Jews.
These songs were ultimately included on the critically acclaimed CD Shbahoth. However, among the pile were a few records from Mumbai, which Futter describes as fascinating to listen to but insufficient to constitute an album.
“There was little we could do,” he recalls. “However, over six years, we began tracking down the odd 78 here and there until we had nearly enough material for a CD of music recorded in 1930s India.”
