SURREY – Bhangra superstar Jazzy B. is returning to the glory days with his first full album in a while with Folk N Funky With, which again sees him not only return to the hey-days of UK-style fusion sound but also with the man behind Jazzy’s success Sukshinder Shinda, who provides the music as well as return of Jazzy’s long-time friend and supporter Bobby Nagra being one of the key presenters alongside Zee Music.
The original Folk N Funky is not only one of the most iconic bhangra albums of all time but also served as a great launch pad for Jazzy and Shinda’s career, catapulting them to the forefront of major international stardom.
Using some of the original equipment and instruments to further recreate that iconic sound, the Music Man Shinda and Jazzy B., now a mega superstar, are looking to give fans the ultimate music experience and a reminder of the glory days of UK fusion Bhangra music.
Judging by the opening track London Patola Reloaded, which was released this week worldwide with a super-Jazzy video, Folk N Funky 2 looks to be a wicked album for the ages. The album, featuring tracks Majajne, Chor-Chor-Chor, Jat Surme and Akhian and even super hit track Naag getting another recreation, will be released shortly but the opening track has already hit 3 million views on Youtube.
The pairing of Jazzy B and Sukshinder Shinda has always produced classic hits and is a partnership that just works. The crisp production by Sukshinder Shinda compliments Jazzy B’s folk style vocals perfectly in this old-skool Jazzy B songs album.
