| Description | Saturday 29 November 7.30pm Tickets £10/20/25 Produced by Serious Bhangra, the pulsating, dhol drum-driven folk music from the Punjab made its way to Britain in the 1950s. Fused over time with English and Indian spices, by the 1970's a unique concoction of tablas, tumbis, synths and electric guitars was booming out from the streets of West London, the 'Southall Sound' becoming a musical voice for first and second generation Brit-Asian youth. Hosted by DJ Ritu from BBC London, we bring you two of the pioneering bands that spearheaded that musical revolution which resonates worldwide today - a special double bill which will have you singing out 'Balle Balle' at the Barbican. |
