For Fans Of

Naya Beat returns to unearthing lost gems from the South Asian diaspora. On their second compilation, Turbotito and Ragz look past the glamour of disco and into the basement clubs, spotlighting a unique late-80s and early-90s era when South Asian music in cities like London and New York fused with acid house, New Beat, and dub. The set gathers influential acts including the West India Company (featuring Bollywood playback legend Asha Bhosle), composer Bappi Lahiri, soca princess Sharlene Boodram, and bhangra pioneer Sangeeta. Too Asian for the mainstream West and too Western for Asia, these unsung pioneers finally get their moment.
