Directed By: Ashim Ahluwalia
Origin: UK, 2004
Description: 52 minutes

Asian Vibes London traces the histories of the hybrid British Asian cultural forms, from 1970s UK Bhangra to the post-Asian Underground movements of today. Looking past the fashion and glamour of pop music to reveal the hidden forces of race, class, and identity that combine to create this culture, this film digs beneath the surface, with never-before-seen footage and interviews of such personalities as Cornershop, Asian Dub Foundation, TJ Reshmi, DJ Ritu, and Oriental Star Records (the first Asian music label in UK).
