Pump Up The Bhangra

4 members

Pump up the Bhangra is the story of how British Asians came of age as they found their voice and celebrated their identity through Bhangra music.

Fronted by BBC Asian Network DJ Bobby Friction, the film recounts how a simple folk tradition from India was transformed in the 1980s to become a unique part of the British club music scene, outselling many mainstream UK acts.

It’s a story of cassette tapes, corner shops and glitter-clad musical heroes; of teenagers bunking school to attend secret daytime gigs and music that soundtracked battles against racism and discrimination.
