Ten years ago, Rekha Malhotra, or DJ Rekha, started presenting live performances that mixed folk music from India, Bollywood and hip hop to create a music style known as Bhangra. It's only now that she is making a record out of it. DJ Rekha joins us today to talk about her debut album, "DJ Rekha Presents Basement Bhangra."

Bhagra is not really what she created - she fused original Bhangra beats (Indian - traditional Punjabi music) with Rap sounds to create a unique New York Bhangra sound - much like what the British have over the other side of the pond with their own Reggae and Bangra fusion.
the YANG is DJ LOGIC
the YIN is DJ REKHA
cheers.
