Explosive New York Bhangra

Contributed by: ARomero

CD ReviewsBikram Singh

Exclusives (Anamika Records, 2005)

Even though most of the best bhangra comes from the UK, there is a growing number of US-based artists that are starting to challenge their colleagues at the other side of the pond. Bikram Singh is such a case. He is a young Punjabi musician based in the New York area.

In less than two years, Bikram has gone from showing appearing at a New York University open mic night, to performing at the Boston Summerjam 2003 stage with the popular Panjabi MC.

What's attractive in Bikram Singh's music is the high quality recording and the gifted combination of electronic beats with traditional instruments such as harmonium, flutes and drums.

Unlike most albums, Bikram Singh's album features numerous producers, who worked on different songs. That gives the album a rich diversity of sounds.
