This website is dedicated to Desi Music (Desi being someone of South Asian descent - from India, Pakistan or Bangladesh) that you can listen to in the Jukebox below. Special thanks to my parents - for passing on their love of Desi music to me and my brother.

White Chicks do it Desi Style too...
Nelly Furtado (everyone's favorite Canadian) and Josh (everyone's favorite Brown Canadians) got together for this jammin' little number called {Say What You Want}. Everytime I play this song I get "Can I get a copy of that?" from desis & non-desis alike. If you listen to the original version of this song on her album she is phoning it in - it is actually a very dull song. She went into the studio with Josh and re-did the vocals for the remix. Check them out at

Nelly Furtado is white???
Well not technically white - just not Desi. She is actually a Canadian citizen born to Poruguese parents. I was just pointing out that it was nice to see a non-Desi singer be so into Desi music. Of course, since the Portuguese have a vested interest in India (Goa, the naming of Bombay - meaning 'good bay') maybe we can give her honorary Desi status...
