Music producer Kuljit Bhamra is trying to pioneer a new genre of music - Bhangra Latina, by combining elements of the desi beat with Latin music.

A project, featuring a band led by Mr Bhamra and Latin pianist Alex Wilson, in collaboration with emerging British composers and multi-award winning singer Sangeeta, has explored how composers and musicians from different traditions can work together to create new music from these two musical forms.

A CD release is planned for September and the music will be showcased initially at the Henley Festival (11 July) and later at the Southbank Centre, London (21st Sept).
