INTRODUCTION

There are few icons in Punjabi Folk music in the 21st century quite as well known as Malkit Singh. For millions of Punjabi's Malkit's mellow voice is an instant reminder of Punjab, India and Bhangra. Midas Touch II is a unique perspective on the current state of Bhangra music. Fans have instantly and enthusiastically embraced Malkit's 20th album release. Featuring Apache India and a London Garage collective known as Pay As U Go Crew, the new album has 12 Bhangra tracks and is released on 4 December 2003.

UK-based 'King of Bhangra' Malkit Singh is an undisputed musical legend. He has nothing left to prove. Every year finds him touring the world, and every new album release breaks the mould. He has been and still is one of the greatest performers in the music business. He is arguably a bigger concert draw now than he ever was, he has performed in the biggest venues globally and has drawn capacity crowds in almost every city, state or country he has performed in over the past two decades.

Malkit Singh is without a doubt what Bhangra music needs to capture true essence of its raw traditional energy. Malkit Singh is also listed in the Millennium edition of the 'Guinness Book of World Records 2000' as the biggest selling Bhangra star ever.
