With Kunza: South Asian alt scene

New voices. New sounds.

Kunza explores the South Asian alternative music scene, celebrating the artists redefining what South Asian music can sound like.

From the electronic sounds of Anish Kumar and the genre-blending styles of Raf Saperra, Bally Sagoo, Tara Lily, Nikhil, Doyel Das, RORO, Mya Mehmi, Sair, Mistry, Misbah, Gulz and Edwin Raphael, the show highlights the creativity flourishing beyond mainstream Bollywood and Bhangra.

Kunza reflects on discovering Freddie Mercury's South Asian heritage, the importance of representation, and how artists across generations continue to shape culture, identity and the future of British South Asian music.

Produced in Birmingham by Solis Productions for BBC Asian Network.
