Sabri Brothers  Tajdar - E-Haram

This final studio recording before his untimely death in 1999 saw Ananda pushing boundaries yet again, teaming up with eclectic London producer Sam "State of Bengal" Zaman to mesh elements of Indian classical music with breakbeat, hip-hop, and tabla-driven beats in an exhilarating, at times zany, fusion of 60s pop and 90s grooves.

We've always had a soft spot for a little bit of Tijuana.. that Happy Happy sound.. So imagine our excitement when we unearthed this gem from the vaults of the super sexy 60s/70 amphonic label..

I think you'll agree.. a re-wiff was well and truly in order. Skeewiff & Syd Dale go so well together! Just totally gutted we never got to meet the great man. This is one of our many dedications to keeping his wonderful sound alive.

Tijuana time!!!

Our season opens with a cross-border collaboration where East meets West in the spiritual journey that is 'Let Go'. The episode features the emotive acoustics of British singer-songwriter Fin Greenall and the soulful voice of Shafqat Amanat Ali Khan from Pakistan, as they experience Mumbai through the eyes of their hosts Salim-Sulaiman, the prolific Bollywood composer duo. Fin adds his indie-folky style to Shafqat's powerful vocals, while Salim and Sulaiman produce a contrasting yet effective fusion that can only be understood as sufi-step.
