Old School Sunday – Apna Sangeet “Akhien Udeek Dhean”
I just love this album, so here is another track from Apna Sangeet’s 1992 album, Jam To the Bhangra.
This time, the group covers “Akhien Udeek Dhean.” You may be familiar with the track by the Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan version, but Apna Sangeet stylized it with a Michael Jackson “Jam” sample.

Old School Sunday – Sardara S. Gill “Sajna Veh Sajna”
This weeks Old School Sunday, is an ode to Gurdas Maan through the voice of Sardara S. Gill.
Whoever sings this song, it is one of my favourites (of course when Gurdas sings it, it is even more special.) Whenever I hear it, I feel like the song takes my imagination away to the Pind, and isn’t that what good music is about?
The album, “Jam To the Bhangra” was released in 1992, with production handled by the signature sound of Amarjit Sidhu. What’s interesting about the album, was the lack of K.S. Bhamra, but Sardara employed the rest of the band.
The album contained six tracks, of which at least five of the songs are classics. Check the heat;
Track 1 – Kamlee Yaar Dhe Kamlee
Track 2 – Manke Te Manka
Track 3 – Soho Road (Returns)
Track 4 – Akhien Udeek Dhean
Track 5 – Apna Sangeet Sings Apna Sangeet
Track 6 – Sajna Veh Sajna
WOW!
