Bobby Friction meets pioneering Punjabi producer Bally Sagoo - BBC

Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer-Home Punjabi Producer and DJ Bally Sagoo grew up with black friends in multi-racial Birmingham. He fused reggae with Bhangra to produce a unique urban musical style that would be a huge hit.
Pump Up the Bhangra is a celebration of the way young British Asians have found their voice and their identity through bhangra music over the past thirty years, fronted by BBC Asian Network DJ Bobby Friction.
It's a story of cassette tapes, corner shops, of teenagers bunking off school to attend secret daytime gigs and of generational culture clashes - as this underground scene became as popular among Asians as Wham and Culture Club were to the mainstream.

Great era when bally sagoo came in music. And those old times were the best now days it finished no more bhangra as it was back then. Bally sagoo never looks old I mean his 54 years old still looks same as he started hi career.

I loved this stuff in 92/93 but man it was hard to get hold of those records in Dublin, only the lads who were already deep into ragga, dancehall and hip-hop and had UK connections seemed to have them. It was one of them, DJ Mek from Scary Eire that advised me Bally Sagoo was the number one man for bhangra and another DJ Goldy who would play Arranged Marriage and Chok There in his sets. As an Irish guy with Asian relatives in London I was always bang into the whole thing - it looked so cool, the music, the clothes, the clubs. It looked like an incredible scene. Thanks for uploading.
