Brimful Of Asha

brimful of asha - sun 2nd feb 2009 - 2-3 pm

Hey folks,

This week's show is dedicated to everyone's favourite playback singer, the Queen of Bollywood; Asha Bhosle.

According to Wikipedia, Ashaji has been the singing voice behind hundreds of film performances and thousands of songs; from filmi music to Classical Indian, pop, ghazals and qawwalis - in over 14 languages including Hindi, Urdu, Bengali and, her own native tongue, Marathi.

I'll be playing a selection of my favourite bits of her Bollywood repertoire, so expect heavy funk, sitar rock, Indian pop and a really groovy hour.

The Weird But Wonderful vote is between a couple of British-Indian crackers:

1. Panjabi MC - Mundian To Bach Ke

I'm pretty sure it's not exactly cool to like this song, but I f*ckin' love it! :)

2. Cornershop - Brimful Of Asha (Norman Cook Remix)

Pretty obvious, eh?
