"IT was named after the warriors Shardana of Italy. We loved the idea because it represented power," says Teresa, about choosing the name Shardana for their latest album.

Shamur, the trio of musicians, whom you may know for the single Let the Music Play, were in Mumbai for a couple of days. The band comprises vocalist Teresa Solinas (known as Terry) and DJs-cum-producers Alessandro Kortezman and Emanuele Marascia.

Alessandro finds the music of Indian instruments soulful and enjoys mixing it with his music. We thought it would be fun to ask them for their five top Hip Hop tracks:

1. Madonna She's Not Me
2. Justin Timberlake Sexy Back
3. Timbaland, Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake Give it to Me
4. Kylie Minogue Two Hearts

And very cheekily, Alessandro adds:
5. Shamur Rock Your Body
