Top 10 iconic songs of Bappi Lahiri: Revisit his legacy with Tamma Tamma, Raat Baaki and more

Musician Bappi Lahiri died in Mumbai late Tuesday. Here's a look at some of his most popular songs from Hindi films.

Bappi Lahiri made his entry in films five decades ago and continued to churn out peppy numbers at the age of 69, just a month before his death on Tuesday night. He died following multiple health issues in a Mumbai hospital.

Bappi Lahiri gave Bollywood some iconic songs.

Bappi was known to have introduced and popularised synthesised disco music in India. He majorly worked in Hindi and Bengali cinema. His last Bollywood song was Bhankas for the Tiger Shroff-Shraddha Kapoor's Baaghi 3.

Born into a Bengali Brahmin family in Jalpaiguri, Bappi Lahiri had singer parents--Aparesh Lahiri and Bansuri Lahiri. They were Bengali musicians, trained in classical music and Shyama Sangeet. Kishore Kumar was his maternal uncle.

Bappi is said to have begun playing tabla at the young age of three when he was trained by his parents. He has two children--son Bappa Lahiri and daughter Rema Lahiri. Recently, he introduced his grandson Swastik Lahiri and promoted his song last year in October.
