The Bollywood Brass Band is Europe's first Indian wedding brass band.
10 + musicians, playing saxes, trumpets, trombones, sousaphone, snare and bass drums, and featuring drummers playing dhol, the loud and exciting Punjabi drum played in Bhangra music.
The Bollywood Brass Band performs at weddings, world music and street music festivals, and cultural festivals (Diwali, Milad, melas). The band was formed in 1992 to perform with the Shyam Brass Band from Jabalpur, India, at the International Festival of Street Music in London.
Since then they have created a uniquely London blend of Hindi film hits, Bhangra rhythms and brass arrangements, with influences from jazz, other world musics, and the thriving UK dance remix scene. The repertoire includes classic and current film hits, Punjabi folk songs, tunes by the great qawwal Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and wedding songs.
Personnel: some of London's most versatile musicians, also heard with bands including Trans-Global Underground, Fun^Da^Mental, Grand Union, Zubop and top Bhangra band Alaap.
