90's + 00's Bhangra, Desi Beats and Bollywood-filled brunch that celebrates British South Asian music and culture!
Don't tell Massi we're throwing the UK's biggest old-school desi daytimer in her Yard!
Multi-award-winning Shaanti proudly presents Massi’s Yard Brunch – a vibrant celebration of British South Asian music and culture. Featuring the best of 90s and 00s Bhangra, Desi Beats, and Bollywood vibes, this brunch promises an unforgettable experience filled with nostalgia, great music, and delicious flavors.
Join us as we celebrate two decades of groundbreaking music and culture that brought us iconic moments like Goodness Gracious Me and Bend It Like Beckham! The ’90s and ’00s were a golden era for British South Asian culture, with Bhangra bands like Alaap, Apna Sangeet, and Heera setting the stage for a musical revolution. It was a time when Panjabi MC’s global smash Beware of the Boys featuring Jay-Z brought Desi beats to the mainstream, alongside legends like Malkit Singh and Stereo Nation.
This was the era where the worlds of hip-hop and Bollywood collided, with artists like Truth Hurts, Raki, Erick Sermon, Redman, and Kanye West embracing Bollywood vibes. Meanwhile, home-grown talents like RDB, Dr Zeus, B21, Tigerstyle, Juttla, Surinder Rattan, Metz and Trix released unforgettable anthems that became the soundtrack of a generation.
British Asian pioneers like Bally Sagoo, Cornershop, Apache Indian, and The Rishi Rich Project featuring Jay Sean and Juggy D dominated the UK charts, while Wolverhampton-born Jas Mann’s Spaceman reached number one on the UK Singles Chart. Join us as we relive this remarkable time of cultural and musical harmony!
The ’90s also marked the rise of the groundbreaking Asian Underground movement. Visionary artists like Talvin Singh, Joi, Nitin Sawhney, State of Bengal, M.I.A, UK Apache, Badmarsh, and Shri were reshaping musical boundaries and making waves globally. It was an era when cultural fusion flourished—Madonna embraced henna, Gwen Stefani made the bindi iconic, and East is East introduced us to the unforgettable catchphrase: “You bloody basta£%!”
