Why do very few music artists choose to tour India?

I don't know. India is a great place. It looks like it is dirty because it is poor. Being poor is not a crime, is it?\n\nIt is poor because it is over populated, and not enough money to go around to all the people.\n\nI think "Born-on-earth" is a F****** As***** for saying that. Just because of some people, you cannot stereotype the whole East.

Unfortunately youngsters like Suresh Raina, Mohd. Kaif, Dinesh Karthik etc. are not making use of the opportunities given to them.\nYou can find lot of youngsters coming to India Team before the world cup starts.

NO NO NO\nUnfortunately your DAD and SIS do not realise what damage they are doing to your development of tastes. These are issues where you are entitled to have your own tastes and enjoy full freedom.They are somewhat jealous of you. Being Indians themselves they some how lost their bus and never had a listening ear to Indian Music.NO MUSIC IN THE WORLD CAN COME ANYWHERE NEAR INDIAN MUSIC.\nWE ARE WITH YOU WE VOTE FOR YOU DO YOU WANT MORE NUMBERS

Would it be great to arrange the logistics for bands that travel?  Can't you get ahold of major tour companies to research this?

At least in India, people do not copy any one in the world. But we accept what is good in terms of values even if it is foreign, like in classical music there is influence of both the west and the middle-east. Ours is an eclectic culture and that is why we assimilate from all directions and make it our own.

Not really. I think I read a couple of years back that he wasn't bothered about making it in the US. In Canada I've heard five of his songs on various radio stations over the last six years, but they never seem to get any further than playing the lead single off his albums.  Funny thing happened to me last year, I wanted the "Intensive care" album for Christmas and was in my local HMV - and we couldn't find any copies, so I'm persuming there's a few other fans in my area.

The LA Music Scene is very tough. It is expensive to live here. Practice space is expensive and usually not convenient to get to.  The clubs might require money up front in the form of purchasing tickets which you are then required to resell yourself to make money back.  A lot of the audiences at shows are people in the industry so they are jaded.  You dont see a lot of people having fun... they are usually a bunch of critics.  You probably will not get your 'big break' here.  It is better to stay in your local scene and create a buzz that way.\n\n-J

probably because doesnt originate from US. Strange really because it is HUGE all over the world and with the population in the states meaning there is a massive pool of potential stars, a bit more interest and they could be real world beaters.

you need a very good manager to support your trips on advertising for your albums and lots of cash to put you on billboards . it is not easy but if you got the talent and the looks you will find so many agents who believes in fresh talents.

Well, at present we c a gud relationshiip b/w these too countries. The same may carryon in the future as many of the Indians r invited in Pakistan for jobs n Indians r paid the double amount their. And moreover we c Shezad Roy coming to India and releasing his new album with an Indian singer and The Pakistanis come to India to show their talents n get qualified like in Fashion designing, The gr8 Indian laughter challenge. The India programs lik Kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi, Kasauti, N many more getting popular in Pakistan. Ther's lots more dear. \nSo I think we may continue with a gud relationship with Pakistan.

To manage the artist's career. Get them gigs, and provide guidance on business aspects of the music......er..business. While their career is in the fledgling stages he or she helps to get them concerts and record contracts and, hopefully with the help of a lawyer ,negotiates contractual stipulations with the record company.\n\nHere's a link to more info.

No! Every mainstream band is not a sellout. A good musical artist wants everyone to enjoy their music. Why would you not want the most exposure to the biggest audience possible. Making money is not the main goal for a lot of bands but it is also not necessarily a bad thing. With more money you can travel to other cities and more people can hear you play. If Metallica did not become mainstream you may have never heard of them, and would not be able to enjoy their music. They couldn't be your favorite band.

INDIA is generally NOT INTERESTED in football as much as cricket, hockey... bit like the Americans who loves their brand of football, baseball, basketball.\n\nFurthermore INDIAN youths prefer to concentrate on their education to increase their job prospect and improve their lives. Sports don't pay well unless you're some kind of superstar sports person.\n\nThe very poor or not educated will have little access to playing sports which is a luxury they cannot afford. Also INDIAN government / state authorities do very little to promote football. India seldom participate even in ASIAN football tournaments. So India football standard is very low. You may have the talents but you must also provide opportunities and expert training to develop the potential talents. Unless INDIA begin to do this India will never ever be good enough for the World Cup.
