CD Reviews

Bhangra - New yet old

gautamg | New York, NY United States | 01/30/2004

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Bhangra is exotic and new to some, but to those of us who grew up listening to the real thing, this album is still a must have.I have owned this album for over 6 months now and it continues to delight. There is a wide variety of bhangra here and the remixing respects the original spirit of the music. From Satwinder Bitti's soulful voice and Sagoo's genius in 'Pendha Gidda' to Safri Boys' light hearted 'Par Linghade', the album presents a wonderful range. Overall DJ Ritu has compiled an excellent selection here.I was surprised to find a Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan number on the album. Strictly speaking, he doesn't do Bhangra but I don't mind getting a Nusrat song as a bonus."

Fascinating and Enjoyable!

"The music of the Indian subcontinent is not everyone's cup of tea (it is mine), and dance music isn't everyone's favorite either (it is not mine). This disc combines the two in a fun and fascinating disc, upbeat with a mystic quality. Some friends that are not fans of the traditional Indian music find this a great disc to listen to. I bought it on a flier, and just love it!"

So much fun!

"This was an impulse buy that turned out to be one of the greatest CDs I've ever owned, and a wonderful introduction to bhangra. There's not a bad track on it. I'm now buying it for friends and family. Exotic, catchy, uplifiting and fun!"
