After the continued success of 'Dafa ho ja' and now 'Bruah', UK born vocalist Foji Gill is set to release a tribute track dedicated to the life of decorated Indian freedom fighter 'Bhagat Singh'.

Bhagat Singh was one of the most influential figures in the Indian Independence movement; a powerful leader, Bhagat Singh alongside Rajguru and Sukhdev were hanged by the British Government.

Although playing an priceless role in the independence movement, it is individuals such as Bhagat Singh & others who have been forgotton by the history books of today, instead suggesting that Mahatama Gandhi was the sole individual responsible for India gaining independence. It is this legacy of Bhagat Singh which needs to be remembered by the youth of today.

With the topic close to Foji Gill, the single 'Bhagat Singh' will be releasing early August, and will be a reminder to the achievements and sacrifice made by Bhagat Singh and other forgotton freedom fighters of the Indian independence movement. A video for the single was shot in India, with Foji Gill ensuring that no corners have been cut for this special project.

(Sorry, I've had to post this over two seperate messages)...

All those Indian music experts on here who have said he's rubbish, he can't perform, voice has been altered blah blah, see the link below... the Times of India seem to have noticed him.

This thread is about this track. Within a song and a video, Foji has produced an epic of Titanic proportions. If you listen to and understand the words, it is a proclamation that should ring through the ears of any Indian who has the slightest interest in their own history.

Whatever you think, wherever this peaks in the charts... this production is a piece of art, it has come from the heart of someone who realises what another son of India did to ensure his country was free from imperialism. These acts have shaped our lives today, we have been brought up as we have because of them. Don't be ignorant to them - think about it.

If you've ever watched Dead Poets Society, remember the line "The powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse." The play is the our world, and the verse is what we contribute to it within our lifetimes. Until you have written a verse that is better, more inspirational, or more memorable than Foji's.... don't diss it.

Quoting sunny in yer face:

One, if not both, of Foji's next two tracks are gonna be amongst the biggest tracks of the decade. 2001-2010, or 2010-2019 - pick whichever decade you want, but punjabi music lovers, belt yourselves in and get ready for the ride....

His songs Dafa Hoja and Bruaaahh are great... enjoyed the video to this song but I'm not into political type songs. Good effort though - at least he is expressing himself using a variety of topics. People complaining should be more constructive with their feedback. If you don't like his voice then don't listen and stick to what you know. Everyone deserves a chance for their hard work. At least he's not a 'producer type' who gets others to sing songs and stands around in his videos trying to look cool!

Re London Mela, everyone was disappointed when Foji came on cause they hyped up Imran Khan so much who turned up late. SO that was against Fogi before he even got on the stage, but he did turn the crowd around which is a credit to him, he aslo tackled the hecklers again brave of him. as for Imran Khan and H Dhami 2 very bid names who have been around for a while. FOji a new comer who sings LIVE and is different, each artist should be respected for what they achieve you can please some of the people soem of the time but you cant please everyone all the time. Given the circumstances he did well watch it on BBC website and judge for yourself.

Quoting sandykgill:

satty u must have been at the wrong mela, even the dj cut him off. u kidding me the only act that got the crowd going. ppl went crazy when imran khan and h dhami came on.

i didnt say he was the ONLY act did i??

i said he was the first one n its always hard when ur first on, but he did a good job.

at least he sung live compared to the others!!!
