Ritu
BBC 1xtra, London, UK
Rewind back to 1960s London. Two respectable, hard working Indian immigrants have given birth to a dimpled baby Ritu. Her parents have a lot to be proud of. Just as the Bhangra music of Punjab broke through barriers of language, caste and creed to become loved all over Pakistan and India, thanks to [lnk:DJ Ritu]http://www.sigov.si/uzp/city/site/music/djritu.html[/lnk] and her colleagues, Asian music is fusing with other forms of modern dance and hip hop to make waves around the world. »We’re seeing a movement that can’t be stopped any longer and it is filtering out and out and out.«
