Raghav

Raghav is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Apache Indian, Chaka Demus & Pliers, 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, Himesh Reshammiya, Sonu Nigam, Sukhwinder Singh and Sunidhi Chauhan, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Tesher, Shilpa Rao, Apache Indian and Kardinal Offishall, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 32 connections around Raghav, reaching back through Apache Indian and forward to Tesher.
