Panjabi MC – Mundian To Bach Ke
Panjabi MC (real name Rajinder Singh Rai) is a British Indian musician. He was born in 1971 in Coventry, England. Rajinder Singh Rai gained his stage moniker from the first fans who called him an Indian MC. He explained that “Indian” isn’t a language and from there was known as Panjabi MC after the language he used in the music he played and rapped. Ninder Johal of Nachural Records discovered Panjabi MC following a remix of Kuldeep Manak’s “Ghariah Milan De”. Although the single was taken off the market, Panjabi MC continued making records. His next successful release was “Mundian To Bach Ke” (”Beware of the Boys”). An underground hit on the Internet, it was picked up by German record company Superstar Recordings and became a major hit in Germany and wider Europe, including the UK.

O universo Bollywood é algo que de certa forma (estranha) sempre me fascinou: as indianas giras, o estilo “Grease” (10 meninas a dançar de um lado, 10 meninos a dançar do outro, os protagonistas a encabeçar cada comitiva, e tudo sem quase nunca se tocarem), as indianas giras, as cores, as indianas giras, a música animada e, não podiam faltar, as indianas giras.
O Bhangra é a música popular lá do sítio e que não só pertence a este universo, como ao longo dos tempos se tem tentado reinventar, fundindo-se com sonoridades como o electrónico ou hip hop.
“O Justiceiro” (ou “The Knight Rider”) era uma das séries de culto da minha infância (se bem que acho que toda a TV era…), protagonizada pelo Senhor David Hasselhoff (e o seu penteado inspirado no do nosso Marco Paulo).
Por isso:
Bhangra + The Night Rider = Música do Dia!
