5.0 out of 5 stars A must have!, October 25, 2007

By	Music Aficionado (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

As a long-time fan of DJ Rekha and her Basement Bhangra parties, this release is a tremendous listen and brings out all of the best elements of bhangra and hip-hop. I particularly liked "Boli Panieh", "Teri Toor" and "Snake Charmer".

Heard about this CD on NPR and I'm happy to have it as an overview of this music. I'm an over 60 jazz buff but enjoy having some variety in my music collection. I also enjoy some world music, but am no expert. This fusion is good road music (just took it on a 6000-mile drive), but it does start to sound a lot alike after a while.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - period., November 29, 2007

I pre-ordered this one!! My friends in NYC have been talking and going to Basement Bhangra for years. I've never made it to the NYC ones, but during the album release she was down in Philly and I made it out (and bought 3 t-shirts) ... chak de!! This CD is straight up sick/hot/amazing. Tracks 1,4, and 8 are my favorite. thanks Rekha and looking forward to the next one.
