Jai Ho

Jai Ho is a fusion track recorded by The Bollywood Brass Band and violinist Jyotsna Srikanth. The composition appears as the sixth track on the collaborative album Carnatic Connection, released on September 23, 2016. The album adopts a digital media format and carries no official label attribution.

The track runs for three minutes and thirty-four seconds. It merges elements of Bollywood brass arrangements with Carnatic violin traditions, reflecting the album’s broader exploration of cross-genre Indian classical and film music fusion. The original Jai Ho composition gained prominence as part of the 2008 film Slumdog Millionaire, though this rendition reinterprets the piece with instrumental emphasis. Specific production credits, session musicians beyond the primary artists, and recording locations remain undocumented in available sources.

Carnatic Connection marks a collaborative project between the UK-based The Bollywood Brass Band and Jyotsna Srikanth, a Bangalore-born violinist trained in the Carnatic tradition. The album’s tracklist includes reinterpretations of classical and film compositions, though a full listing of contributing arrangers or additional performers is not publicly verified. The release date aligns with Srikanth’s broader discography of fusion works, which often bridge South Indian classical music with global genres.

No commercial singles preceded the album, and promotional materials for the release are limited. The track’s reception and chart performance, if any, are not recorded in accessible archives. Live performances of the collaboration have occurred in European and Indian venues, though tour documentation for this specific project is incomplete.
