Panjabi MC

Aja Nachle - DJ Dave presents...

Punjabi MC for the 1st time in New Zealand.

Panjabi MC aka Rajinder Singh Rai, began his career in music by writing lyrics and rapping at gigs. People who saw him perform started to call him the Indian MC. He explained to them that there was no language called Indian but in actuality the non-English words that he would use in his raps were in Punjabi. This is how the name Panjabi MC came about. After countless hours in the studio, making beats and putting raps down, Panjabi MC’s first demo was complete.

He incorporated into his unique style of production classic Punjabi songs and legendary recording artists and created something new and vibrant for the fans. PMC took inspiration from people such as James Brown, KRS1, Dr Dre, Spike Lee and Bob Marley, who were his influences from the western world, and from his own cultural background he was influenced by Kuldip Manak, Surinder Shinda and Chamkila.

There were very few Asian rappers at that time and it was PMC who took traditional Punjabi music and merged it with hip hop and R&B records. A new sound for Bhangra was born and the PMC brand had begun to spread to countries all around the world.

For the first time - 3 rooms with Bhangara, Bollywod, hip hop & R 'n' B, feat DJ Dave, Jolly, Fame, Raaz, Gabroo & Satnaam!

Also feat DJ Aztecx (Sandeep).
