Raghu Dixit

Recently, we were at a music festival in Chandigarh, and there were five bands lined up before us. Everyone played either Punjabi music or Bollywood music on the dhol. The audience was lapping it up, and the band and I were just getting nervous," says singer-songwriter Raghu Dixit, known for his folk leanings and his band The Raghu Dixit Project. "Then we came on, and the first four songs were thanda, but as soon as we played Shugal Laga Le from Chef, people started getting into it, and they even sang along to the Kannada songs after me. We made Punjabis sing in Kannada!"'
