The Rough Guide To Bhangra - 2nd Edition (2-CDs)
ANTH: India
review by jaypaul
Fabulous collection of Bhangra (named after ‘bhang’ - aka hemp), a wildly popular style from the Indian Punjab region, dominated by driving percussion & lyrics that often feature a strong chorus. This collection includes bhangra’s pioneers as well as hot new stars. Bonus CD by Achanak is excellent too. All tracks good - check it out!
