When Sameer found the battered external drive at the back of his cluttered attic, he expected nothing more than a few forgotten folders. Instead, a single zip file named "Old_Hindi_Songs.zip" stared back, timestamped 2008.

For years those songs had been fragments in the family's memory, scattered across cassette tapes and trembling vinyl.
