It's not often the First Lady comes calling.
There is really no stopping Malaysian musicians these days as they slowly venture into the global arena. Not too long ago, we had indie folk singer songwriter Zee Avi getting signed to top US folk label, Brushfire Records and pretty much setting up base there with her debut album making the top 100 on Billboard charts, followed by AIM/AJL/ABP winner and indie pop favourite Yuna, recording and making waves in the US as well. Now we have Bhangra loving brothers M.Ji & Surj a.k.a Goldkartz, releasing their second album worldwide, on major UK urban ethno label Movie Box.
Known as the Bhangra Ambassadors of Malaysia, the two sibblings pulled a coup of sorts, when they even managed to get Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor, the wife of the Prime Minister of Malaysia, to officially launch their urban Bhangra album entitled "24 Karaatz" at a special worldwide album release reception held at the Mutiara Crowne Plaza Hotel in Kuala Lumpur, last Friday, 25th April 2011.
Full story & complete pics coming up.
