Outsiders: Retro Cassetta & Giulia Giu - Bollywood Special

In this episode, Retro Cassetia and Giulia Giu brings together fragments of old cassette tapes featuring Bollywood movie soundtracks and recordings from the late 1990s to the early 2000s — sounds that deeply influenced Moroccan audiences at the time.

Circulating through dubbed VHS tapes, street markets, taxis, and home stereos, these melodies became part of everyday life, shaping emotional memory and popular taste. Blending dramatic film songs, romantic themes, and lo-fi tape artefacts, the mix reflects a shared transnational culture where Indian cinema resonated strongly in Morocco, long before streaming and algorithms. It is both a tribute to an era and an audio archive of cultural exchange carried by magnetic tape.
