Angrezi names & desi beats

Jasmine Singh

What’s in a name; William Shakespeare tossed this question a long, long time back. And now, Punjabi singer Jasmine Sandlas has an answer to it. And what’s with Punjabi singers and English titles to their singles and albums, does it give the track an international feel? What are the gayaks saying? Before that let’s smile a bit, and why?

Reason to smile

Popular Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh has shared a throwback picture of his from his school days. The oh so sweet picture trending on Twitter, and what is interesting is the caption of the picture, self-written by Diljit himself, which reads...  ‘ONLY DOSANJHANWALA doesn’t know where the Camera is Badda Actor Baneya Firda Pind de school VALON Gaye c Shabad Gayan Competition Lai Mummy V Poora Tyar Kar ke bhej De c Te Chaa Mainu v Baut Hunda c.. But Hun shaid oh Khushi Kadey Wapis ni aa Sakdi .. Nakli Ho Geya Hun Mai.’

Angrezi beat tey 

Punjabi singers have always generously used the word English in their songs. But now more and more singers have started giving English titles to their tracks. Check out Famous by Sidhu Moosewala, Tera Harley by Gurj Sidhu and Prada by Jass Manak. Is it anything to do with astrology or a pure fixation for a language that Punjabis are still trying to master!
