PMC Debuts “Bari Barsi” in NYC

DJing at Basement Bhangra in New York over their Thanksgiving Holiday, Panjabi MC debuted his upcoming track on his next album “56 Districts”.

The song has Panjabi MC’s now classic iTumbi sound, along with a heavy synth and bass line.

What do you think?

Oh, before he drops the album, there’s a small matter of releasing the Moorni Remix featuring Warren G.

An Epiphany on the Dance Floor

This past Friday, I decided to head down to Muzik in Toronto to see the TIFF kickoff party to the movie Breakaway.

With so many artists lined up to perform, and rumours of an appearance by Drake, it was something I wanted to see firsthand. I had to admit, this was the first time a show had garnered so much attention. Marketing was on point, as virtually everyone in the city knew about this gig, which is a feat in itself, as so many shows here fail merely due to a lack of any solid promotion outside of facebook.

I usually always head into these kinds of things with lowered expectations. As we all know, Toronto hasn’t fared well when it comes to big Bhangra bashes (just ask Panjabi Hit Squad, Tigerstyle, Malkit Singh, Juggy D, Jassi Sidhu, Rishi Rich, Sukshinder Shinda, Stereo Nation, Zeus, and many more.)

Slated to perform were RDB, Josh, H Dhami, Veronica, Jassi Sidhu and Bohemia. Appearances were also to be made by the cast of the movie, Russell Peters, as well as Ludacris and Akshay Kumar. In between all of that, DJ Kamran, Baba Kahn, Starting From Scratch, and DJ KSR would be spinning the wheels of steel. With tickets starting at $40, and a venue large enough to hold 3,000 people, this show was going to be big.

And so it begins.

I’ll spare you the elongated play-by-play, as it really was quite an uneventful night considering the billing.

Each performer “performed” (I can also write “sang” if you catch my drift) two songs maximum from the Breakaway soundtrack.
Ludacris was nowhere to be seen (he was in VIP) and the same can be said of Akshay Kumar (who also happened to be celebrating his birthday that night)

Interestingly enough, Akshay Kumar was present and visible on stage during the free event thrown at Chinguacousy Park this past Sunday, alongside the very same performers.

So while I was dancing away to the music provided by the various Deejays that night (which was probably the only saving grace to the entire evening) I came to the following realisation.

Artists mimed their way through their songs like puppets, but at the end of the day, we the people, who pay good money to see them, are the puppets, as we jump at the opportunity to watch them live with any chance we get.

Could it just be the Artists twisted way of getting back at us? We download their songs for free. They get paid for attending. We pay to see them perform. We still end up listening to the same CD we downloaded for free, but now in person.

And the beat goes on.

Jassi Sidhu in Toronto (Free Concert)

Look into Jassi Sidhu’s eyes.

You know what he is trying to tell you? No, not that (get your mind out of the gutter)

He’s telling you he just enjoyed a night out in Toronto, where he watched the NKOTBSB concert at the Air Canada Centre, and then met Donnie Wahlberg. No really, he did.

You know what else those eyes are trying to tell you?

(No seriously, get your mind out the gutter!)

He’s trying to tell you that the IIFA madness is getting ready to kick off, and with that in mind, there will be some Bhangra performances occurring over the next few weeks.

First off, Jassi Sidhu will be at Dundas Square on the evening of this Saturday, June 11 performing a free concert.

There will be more performances by other recording acts coming to town, but IIFA are not making it easy to narrow down the exact times the shows are happening.

I’ll try and stay on top of things….

(That’s what she said)

(That’s not what Jassi Sidhu’s eyes are telling me)
