The Sunday Times review of 'Chaiyya Chaiyya' says…
The London-based BBB may be no strangers to Day-Glo escapism, but this foray into the subcontinent yields some of their most joyous performances so far. The singer Rafaqat Ali Khan joins the Anglo-Asian team for a set that was recorded live at Oslo’s Opera House curiously enough. He brings authority and grace to anthems by the likes of RD Burman and AR Rahman, and gets down and dirty when the horn section revs up some New Orleans-style funk riffs. While the quartet of guest string players add a soupçon of romance, the thundering trumpets, trombones and sousaphone fuel the party atmosphere.
