Old School Sunday: Awaaz Group “Ban Than Gidhe Wich”
What? Yeah I know it has been a long time since I posted, and an even longer time since I posted an Old School Sunday track. My apologies.
I woke up this morning feeling good. Invigorated (must be the supposed one hour extra sleep I got from daylight savings ending – ok, most likely not). Or Fernando’s great display against Chelski today. I digress.
From 1988, here is a treat from the Awaaz Group. Hardcore Bhangra fans may know of this group. But man I surely passed this song over, until my sister opened my eyes to it.
Taken from the album “Jee Kar Da”, the song was written by Apna Sangeet’s K.S. Bhamrah.
Enjoy.
P.S. To the peeps that continued visiting and supporting the site, looking for new material and have been disappointed, I sincerely apologise. I’ll make it up to y’all.
Old School Sunday – Sardara S. Gill “Gideh Wich”
The group may be back together again, but I still liked Sardara S. Gill’s vocals over K.S. Bhamrah’s.
That being said, this track was HOT back in 1995. Released off his solo album “Pure Magic,” this track caught my attention because of the intro music. I would play this at parties, but then soon realised that the track is a tad slow to dance to, and a bit on the long side.
An interesting tidbit about the musical production of this song, is that it was the Jagpal brothers (Bally and Bhota) that produced it. Also, that killer tumbi was played by Balwinder Safri.

The Return of Apna Sangeet
That’s right people! Sardara S. Gill and K.S. Bhamrah had a sit down last month, and agreed to put their differences aside in order to get back together and form Apna Sangeet.
They will be performing at a gig in Birmingham at the end of the month alongside Malkit Singh, and promise to perform with a full live band, as well as premiere two new tracks on their upcoming album set to be released next year.
My question is, will Gurcharan Mall be in the fold on stage doing his crazy Dholi antics?
Will the group try and go for the nineties sound that kind of saw their demise, or stick to their original sound?
Will people still appreciate the Apna Sangeet sound that we adored in the eighties?
Will UK Producers like Sukshinder Shinda, PBN jump on behind the decks to produce for them?
I saw Apna Sangeet perform live at more wedding receptions than any other group back in the 1980′s, and they were by far my favourite band, so you can say I am more than a little bit excited. But as excited as I am in anticipating this comeback, I will have to somewhat withhold it until I hear some more news, and get answers to the above questions.
Keep it locked.
