Relocating from Vancouver, Canada, to Birmingham, UK, in the late 90s, Jazzy B managed to balance the Hip-Hop elements of his formative years with the present form of Punjabi music to create an album that will forever stand as the soundtrack to a very specific moment in popular culture.Now in 2017, Folk ‘N’ Funky 2 aims to challenge, entertain and surprise a brand new audience whilst also keeping the traditionalists at ease with a marriage of folk, creativity and almost heroic context. Folk ‘N’ Funky set up ‘The Crown Prince of Bhangra’ Jazzy B as the poster boy of the new-look of Bhangra music, with the sound of ‘The Music Man’ Sukshinder Shinda’s UK-born rhythms completely subverting expectations.Fast forward over two decades and both singer and producer have become part of Punjabi music history as purveyors of a sound and style that has been constantly imitated but never actually bettered. Jazzy B – Folk N Funky 2Past, Present and Future!Twenty-two years after the first release, Jaswinder Singh Bains, returns to the folk roots of Punjabi music to once again present a small slice of traditional folklore with a modern day twist.
