Cornershop are authentic as products of the cross-fertilization between migrants and their new communities. They don't pretend to be 'authentic' Indian. This is post-colonial Anglo-Asian pop. |

Yeah, me too. (as in, working /hanging out with Indians, aka South Asians) I like the people and the music. Don't know and don't care why - just do. Food's good too. ;-)

I adore Indian ragas, world music, and sitar, but this just lacked a spark...and ended up seeming kinda long and repetitious. Not bad, not great, either.

If you're going to play Indian influenced music why not Kiran Ahluwalia? She's both authentic and fabulous to listen to.

I laughed when I saw the name of this group since "go down to the cornershop and grab a pint of milk will you?" is such a common phrase heard across Britain. (I was stationed there with the U.S.A.F. for 9 years.)
Here is an excerpt from Amazon.com -
Reviewer: Daniel J. Hamlow (Farmington, NM USA)
A cornershop is the British equivalent of a convenience store. It's also the name of Tjinder Singh's Asian-dance-rhythm-scratch-loops group. It's an exotic collection that smells of super hot curry vindaloo, chapatis, popadoms, and chutney.
Product Description: Roni Sarig
For all the talk of this record's blend of South Asian and northern English pop sounds, the music here sounds neither daringly cross-pollinated nor strangely juxtaposed. Rather it sounds like a rather conventional pop record, one that harkens back to the days when pop didn't have to be sonically conservative and genrespecific. Cornershop's willingness to make a pop record, rather than its desire to reconcile its leader's British and Indian heritage, is what makes this a great breakthrough album.
From Amazon.com listing.

I love music from all over the world and I realize this comes from America, but in such a bastardized form, it has no appeal. Kinda like a southern Florida "Spanish Style villa". It has all the stylings, but none of the spirit.
UK. And it isn't as if it's Bruce Willis doing the style hodgepodge. It's Tjinder Singh. That adds a little credibility to it, I think. |
