This review is from: Bhangra: Original Punjabi Pop (Audio CD)

With the overwhelming dismalness of our modern American pop music, artist have been scratching to the pits of the past, seventies, sixties, eighties music, trying to drain out some originality from old classic hits. Rap artist have went outside of the hip/hop genre and even went as far as to have Indian singers lending their exotic vocals to their songs.

Don't waste your time with such minute pieces of originality. Indian music, and Punjabi music in general is so mystifyingly brilliant and catchy that it is a wonder that it hasn't found its way into the mainstream foreign music scene yet. Each song on this collection of hits is so catchy, original, and incredible that you will be bumping and banging all over the place.

I was happy with the three songs I enjoyed from the Bend it Like Beckham soundtrack, but this cd blows that out of the water. The absolute best Indian pop music I have heard yet, and probably the best ever. I hope there is a collection as perfect as this one filled with such variety of vocals and beats.

This CD dragged me into the wonderful world of bhangra and I've never looked back. The hypnotic beats, great vocals and shining melodies...the previous reviewer said it: It seems to me as well that many people listen to western pop music just because they don't know better. But it's never too late to open your ears - I recommend taking a shot at bhangra!

When deciding to buy this CD on amazon,I was a little hesitant since I could'nt sample the songs before buying,but thanks to the other reviews on the page I took my chances;and they were right the CD is GREAT!I love EVERY bangra beat on this CD.A good mix of male and female singers and beats,when you here it, you just can't help but DANCE.Both my children and I always dance around the house when the musics on.I have other bangra cd's but this one beats them all!!Wonderful!
