"I hope my CD will make orphans smile"



Now here's a project that sounds really dope.

From icCoventry:

"A BHANGRA artist from Coventry has recorded an album to help raise money for orphaned children around the world.

Ranjit Jassal, known as Desi Dark Child, financed and produced the record Sleepwalking, which is released on August 20.

He will donate all the profits to the SOS Orphan Children's Villages Charity, which provides aid to more than a million abandoned children in 124 countries."

[Jassal] has worked in the studio alongside mainstream artists like Punjabi MC, Surinder Shinda, Kuldip Manak, Mohamed Sadiqe and Taz, from Stereo Nation.

He said: "The artists who have worked on this record have brought a new sound and beauty to Bhangra with their great vocals.

"The sound is unique, nothing is copied like many of the tracks you hear currently in the industry.

"I feel that many Bhangra artists have recently lost their way and I hope this is a return to real Punjabi music."

The Asian News has another article here on this genuinely musical project that has a great cause
