From Pete Chambers in Godiva Rocks
"Silinder Pardesi, master of Bhangra, originally from Birmingham but based in Coventry for many years. Won the Asian song contest in 1986...his music is stimulating and tremendously dynamic. Despite winning awards for his singles Shake Yer Pants and Balbeero Bahbi, Silinder can still mix it with the likes of Pavarotti at the 1997 Moscow celebrations - such is the diversity of his art and love for classical Indian Music. His body of work includes Pump Up the Bhangra, Shabad Gurbani, and Geet Guran De and Nashay Diay Band Botlay."
