Late 1970s West London was the setting for a remarkable explosion of cultural activity in film, dance and music as, against the background of tense political times, the British Asian community unleashed a wave of irresistible artistic expression.

One of the pioneers of this time, Kuljit Bhamra – composer, producer and tabla player – charts a course with his brilliant colleagues from classical Indian music to east/west collaboration, with generous helpings of Bollywood and Bhangra along the way. Whether you’re a connoisseur of classical Indian music or a newcomer, this promises to be an unforgettable musical experience, rich in tradition and innovation.
