    Aryans to feature in etc’s ‘pop ki aandhi’

    Etc music is will present Aryans in its Chit Chaat show to be aired on Wednesday 21 April at 7:30 pm. The show will be anchored by Suresh Menon, this time in the garb of Ashok Kumar.

    Aryans recently had given a fine show in their latest album Hai Dil. In the show, the band members Narayan, Sadu, Yakub, Jogi and Atul will be treating the viewers with extempore singing and musical instruments.

    Pop Ki Aandhi is a special slot, which is dedicated to the personalities from the music industry. In this slot, etc features one musician or music group every fortnight.

    Aryans will talk in length with Suresh Menon about the long wait they had before Hai Dil and about the offers they are receiving for providing background scores in films.

    “We wanted to give our best. That is why we waited until we were satisfied with our songs, music and composition.”

    Then we have something on nudity. “We do not believe in nudity. If your music is good then you don’t need all this absurd gimmickry to sell. You need naked girls only if you copy the music of others or your own music is bad”. Says Narayan.

    On a question hurled at Narayan, a malayalee, about having not sung a malyalee pop song, we have this gem: ” have you ever seen a pop singer in lungee?”

    In between chats, Narayan, Sadu, and Atul will sing songs from their album while Yakub and Jogi will give them company with instrumental music. The album consists of some soulful songs like Kahan Gaye Woh Din, Dil Akelaa Hai and Jaane Kaun Saa Rastaa and also some peppy numbers like Jee Chahtaa Hai.

  • Harbhajan Mann is etc’s latest Pop Ki Aandhi

    Harbhajan Mann is etc’s latest Pop Ki Aandhi

    Popular bhangra pop singer Harbhajan Mann (not to be confused with cricket star Harbhajan Singh) is music channel etc's Pop Ki Aandhi for the second half of this month. 

    Harbhajan's latest album is called Haaye Meri Billo. He will appear on the channel on Thursday 20 December at 7:30 pm and Wednesday 26 December at 8 pm.

    Pop Ki Aandhi is a slot that the channel reserves for musicians who are making waves with their music. Each month, two artistes are showcased in each fortnights. 

    Born in Punjab, Harbhajan Mann spent his formative years in Vancouver, Canada. So it is not surprising to learn that ice hockey and not cricket is his favourite sport. He has returned to India after 15 years and has wasted no time establishing himself as a major force to be reckoned with in the bhangra-pop music scene. 

    Some of his songs that are popular include Oye hoye, Cham Cham and Husnu Jawani malomal. He has also worked on the playback for the Hindi movie Papa The Great. He admires Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai and lets on that he will start acting sometime next year. 

    He has this to say about which kind of music he prefers working on, "It all depends on the pasteurization of a song. As long as the video of a non-film song is good, I don't find anything wrong with it. Sometimes, I get offers to do playback, but then what's the point singing a good song for others. I prefer doing it for myself". 

    Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was his role model. Considering the exuberance he exudes on stage, it is suprising to learn that he feels shy in front of the camera. However, he says that a live crowd charges him up. He describes himself as a "humble, down-to-earth good human being."
