So far, everything I've posted here has been acoustic and on the quiet, "polite" side. I decided today that it would be fun to change things up a bit - and admit my fondness for bhangra, one of today's hottest Indian pop crazes, in the process.
Bhangra's really a diaspora phenomenon, created in the UK by South Asian kids who wanted a mixture of all the music they love. It's hard to define, but very easy to dance to.
You might already have heard today's cut on the soundtrack to "Bend it Like Beckham" - they featured it twice, in two different mixes. It's called Darshan, and is by Birmingham-based group B21.
