Old School Sunday – Unity “Asi Haan Punjabi” (Behind the Scenes)
This week’s Old School Sunday video is from two weeks ago. Yep, two weeks ago.
Every year, the BBC in the UK, host a charity event “Children in Need.” They do the whole Telethon bit, and this year, it’ll have an old school UK Bhangra flavour.
“Unity,” a whole bunch of old school artists, have got together and produced a song for the benefit, and as you can see below, a video is in the works.
Going by the number of artists associated with the song, I figured today would be as good as time as any for this video. Check out my favourite band growing up – Apna Sangeet – steal the spotlight.
I heard the song on BBC Radio this past week, and it’s not exactly a dance floor filler, but it is a great track, and I can tell you that Shin (DCS) ripped it.
The “Unity” performance on Television takes place on November 20, 2009. As I get more details, I’ll keep you all updated.

Old School Sunday – Holle Holle “Holle Holle”
This weeks Old School Sunday is an ode to one of the pioneers of UK Bhangra music. Deepak Khazanchi changed the way music sounded and produced by introducing electronic synthesizers to UK Bhangra.
Holle Holle was a band formed by former Alaap member Manjeet Khondal. Their bands first song was also titled “Holle Holle.” As well as being featured on Holle Holle’s album, it was featured on Deepak Khazanchi’s “Bhangra Fever Vol. 1″ which is probably one of Bhangra’s most important and best remixed compilation album to this day.
For some reason when I listen to this song, I remember two things; How shiny peoples suits were when they were dancing to this song on “Network East,” and kids singing “Holle Holle Alloo Parotheh.”
