Foji, the singer who staged a bhangra flash mob in Birmingham, has released the video for his latest single. Ek Peg features the vocals of Ravi Bal and is the first single from his forthcoming album.
As the title suggests, Ek Peg is a drinking song. However, unlike the usual bhangra songs about drinking, it's more a warning about the dangers of drinking rather than the enjoyment. The video makes some jokes and differs from other bhangra videos with it's lack of female backing dancers or models.
Despite these differences, I found the song a little monotonous. Ravi Bal's vocal are good, but as someone who doesn't drink to excess, Ek Peg was lost on me. Will it change the drinking habits of the Punjabi community? Probably not, but well done Foji for making an effort.
