Swami

Dubbed “the 21st century hybrid sound of displaced souls,” Swami potently blends British-Indian bhangra with alternative electronic club mayhem. Award-winning producer Diamond 'Swami' Duggal founded the Birmingham, England-based band in 1997 with drummer and brother Simon ‘Subs’ Duggal, vocalist Taz Singh and Indian percussionist Kam Bura.

Constantly pushing the boundaries of international music, Swami has largely been credited with bringing British bhangra back to prominence in Indian clubs. Since releasing its 2007 CD, “Equalize,” the group has taken its trademark sound much further afield, through interacting with North African hip-hop from France, Zulu R&B from South Africa, and the black soul and rap of east coast USA, as well as the happening sounds of London (UK) via hybrid electronic mixing from some choice Delhi DJs. For Sunfesters who found their groove in last summer’s Delhi 2 Dublin dance party, Swami is the perfect excuse to once again lace up those shoes and get movin’.
