	Various Artists: The Rough Guide to Bhangra - PopMatters Music Review
		Like all bhangra, its foundation is the beat of the dhol, a large wooden-barrel drum, and the song also features Indian violin, and the sweet vocals of Alaap's lead vocalist.
		Bhangra has also suffered from the prevalent notion that the music produced by South Asians in Britain was also simply not as funky as that produced by Black Britons.
		Today British Asian bhangra is a huge export to the millions of South Asian expatriates around the globe, and it also has been sent back to India, where it has had a big impact on Indian pop.

	Reviews for Titles by Artists/Groups: "G-H"
		This is one of his best, as well as his latest, and even includes the reprise of a track from his newest CD "Up".While there are well-placed sounds of birds and dingoes, there are also performances by artists and friends as varied as the Dhol Foundation and The Blind Boys of Alabama.
		Of special note are the comforting "Om Tara" and "Gaia - Hymn to the Earth." Her superb ensemble of world musicians interweaves violin, saxophone, cello, piano, bass clarinet, guitars, five string banjo, and percussion galore.
		This CD is filled with haunting, expansive and nourishing music that recalls the power and beauty of Sacred Spirits and the out of print CDs by Beautiful World.

	BBC Radio 2 Cambridge Folk Festival
		On the Friday, the former was represented by the massed drums of the Dhol Foundation, by the pungent musical concoction of Amparanoia and by Kepa Junkera, a Spanish group more funk than flamenco.
		It's riding high, with the BBC increasing its involvement to become the major sponsor, and giving it greater coverage on air.
		The festival, with its new sponsor, Radio 2, continues to champion the skills of musical dexterity and songwriting.

		The sound of the dhol is loud and deep and is usually accompanied by the chimta.
		Larger chimtas were fashioned for big fires around which mystics and faqirs congregate at the shrines of saints and were first used by these devotees as musical instruments.
		The chimta used by performers is approximately one metre long and is played by bringing the tongs together by rhythmic pressure of the forefinger and thumb of the left hand.

	The Scotsman - S2 - Music for a mixed up planet
		The "day" finishes with a live concert from Dingwalls in London featuring the UK-Asian Dhol Foundation, the emerging Guinean singer-songwriter Manecas Costa and an acclaimed young R&B newcomer from Alabama, Ellis Hooks, while Radio 3’s World On Your Street project will spotlight the range of multicultural music-making which can be found in the UK alone.
		Kershaw confesses to being astonished not to have had any direct complaints since Radio 3 gave him his Friday night spot last year after he was dumped by Radio 1 - "There have been rumblings on the Radio 3 message board about too much world music, but, really...
		They were releasing stuff as diverse as Zimbabwean guitar bands and Bulgarian choirs, and had to help people who worked in record shops to somehow categorise this stuff which was becoming increasingly popular through radio shows like my own [then on Radio 1] and Charlie Gillett’s".
