Raghav

Raghav is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Chaka Demus & Pliers, Apache Indian, Quincy Jones and Gyptian. Those roots explain a lot about how Raghav arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Jay Sean, Nanku, Himesh Reshammiya, Sonu Nigam and KK, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Tesher, Kardinal Offishall, Apache Indian and Shilpa Rao, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 38 connections around Raghav, reaching back through Chaka Demus & Pliers and forward to Tesher.
