Bhangra: Birmingham and Beyond
By Kishore Budha • Oct 12th, 2007 • Category: Announcements
Subaltern Studies is proud to announce the book launch of one of its members Dr Rajinder Dudrah (Manchester University). Bhangra: Birmingham and Beyond offers a timely and accessible overview of some of the artists, songs, audiences and images of Bhangra Music in Britain – from its folk beginnings to a diversified music industry that now encompasses a range of fusion-based British Asian genres. Given its importance to the British Bhangra music industry, the city of Birmingham, England, is the starting point as one co-ordinate on the map of UK-based Bhangra.
