Canadian based Bhangra band Enkarma’s second album #enkarmafied has done exceptionally well in the first few days of launching. The album hit the number 2 spot in the world itunes chart in under 12 hours and still standing at a high spot.
The band comprises of West Midlands born Pip Dhaliwal (Drums) , Nick Chowlia (Keys) and Canadian residences Inder Kooner (Singer) and Karamvir Cooner (Dholi).
The 4 members have an avid relation to the Bhangra Music industry which leads back to the 1990s where Nick and Pip have toured with some of the biggest Bhangra legends, Malkit Singh, Jazzy B and Apna Sangeet just to name a few and officially represented ‘bhangra’ at the Canadian Winter Olympics in 2010.
Pip Dhaliwal and Nick Chowlia who were raised in Birmingham moved to Canada a few years back. Music was a part of their lives since a young age when Nick took to the keyboard and Harmonium from a young age and began performing at the age of 16. Pip Dhaliwal who is the master of the Drums began playing at a young age of 15 and joined Malkit Singh as their youngest member. He is now living the dream with their successful brand En Karma.
Inder Kooner began singing at the young age of 15 where he took classical music training by Sarbjit Phull. Inder released his first debut album with Enkarma 3 years ago which gained worldwide recognition for this powerful vocalist. Karm born and raised in Vancouver has been playing the Dhol since the age of 16 and has been touring with the band since 2011.
#enkarmafied features an array of 10 songs ranging from Enkarma’s usual live sound, traditional Bhangra beats, slow love songs to a Hindi track which you will for sure get a Bollywood vibe from it. The first single Dil Naal Khedey sung by Inder Kooner supports an edgy video shot in Vancouver and stars Punjabi actress Gurpreet Grewal. It’s an album which showcases the musical progression of the band and contains some exciting international collaborations including Aman Hayer, DJ Vix, Sasha Tripati and many more international artists. Weddings, melas, festivals and stadiums have their stages clear for Inder, Pip, Nick & Karmvir who are locked, reloaded and ready to unleash their new album.
