| One of the biggest celebrations of Asian music and culture outside the Indian subcontinent, last year's London Mela attracted 55,000 visitors, and this year's event is set to be even bigger. This year there's a new Doosra stage showcasing new talent and alternative musicians adding to the live music. Meanwhile, across on the BBC Asian Network main stage Apache Indian is among the headliners, bringing his unique mix of Ragga and Bhangra to Gunnersbury Park. In all, there are seven zones with urban, classical and experimental music, DJs, circus and comedy as well as dance, arts and a children's play area. Expect a line-up of the brightest lights on the British Asian music scene and a few minor Bollywood figures as well as traditional and classical performances. This is supplemented with hundreds of stalls selling food and handicrafts and a fantastic convivial atmosphere, all of which makes the London Mela a magnet for a multitude of Londoners out for a good time. |
