Looking at their work, their musical loves, inspirations, and the special relationship music plays in their lives. Andrea won the UK The Voice, which never nearly happened after turning up at the wrong time to the original audition, but she was given a chance and ended up winning the series.

His passing in sent shockwaves throughout the music industry. However, this documentary fittingly pays an emotional tribute to the brilliance of the music visionary. Bhangra lovers and music fans alike are eagerly anticipating both shows and cannot wait to participate in honouring Scottish Bhangra and the uplifting evolution it has gone through. In an exclusive interview, DESIblitz spoke to the narrator and producer of both shows, Ravi Sagoo, about the impact of Scottish Bhangra and how both shows will pay homage to that.
I grew up with Bhangra music at home through my parents and extended family who are originally all from Punjab and Kenya. As a result, I love Bhangra music. Namely Bombay Talkie of the 80s and 90s who released two albums. For a period in the s through Tigerstyle and VIP Records, there was a real resurgence of Scottish produced and promoted Bhangra music which was heard across massive platforms.
So as a proud Scotsman I was really keen for Scotland and a wider audience to hear the Scottish Bhangra story from its early conception in the 60s around the restaurant scene and local community shows to pioneering acts such as Bombay Talkie, Typestyle, and DJ Vips. It was a popular dance floor hit in England too and lead vocalists Sanjay Majhu and Charan Gill alongside the rest of the band opened the door for a future generation of Scottish Asian Music makers.
So to have a lasting imprint on Scottish and UK Bhangra really does say something about their legacy which has included some noteworthy performances at festivals including T In The Park and touring across the UK. Looking at the success of Tigerstyle from the turn of the millennium; they went on to create a unique digi-urban sound with their concepts of Bhangra music.
Tigerstyle took it to new global heights with production style and sound putting Scottish Bhangra firmly on the map in a big way. We also speak to folk who were part of the scene during the peak periods. From writer and actor Sanjeev Kholi recalling his stand-in keyboard days with Bombay Talkie and attending the daytimers.
Bombay Talkie followed the Bhangra band blueprint of the 90s but kept their Scottish roots laced throughout their music with bagpipes and traditional Scottish melodies. Alongside core Bhangra sounds mixed by the synthesiser sound of the 90s which was the standard across all music back then.
We are now at a point where we have music and a generation who are so musically literate that the sound of Bhangra will continue to enthral. Please check your internet connection and refresh the page. You might also try disabling any ad blockers.
