GENRE

For my project, i have decided to create a Bhangra music magazine because firstly it appeals to me, and secondly the audience who are mainly asians are very interested in this and there are not many Bhangra music magazines that they can get their hands on. I also chose it because it has never been done before and i thought that it would be good to do as i have some fresh ideas and thoughts for the magazine. In the Bhangra music genre, there are two types, the traditional Bhangra and the modern westernised Bhangra. I have chosen to do the modern westernised one because it appeals to quite a lot of young people who listen to a lot of this kind of music.

The music magazine is a hybrid because it involves Bhangra music, but it is also a way of life, it is integrated into our everyday life, especially for people who listen to this music, they start to think about the music, then the bigger picture, e.g. going to asian weddings, eating asian foods, even learning to speak indian, gujarati, punjabi etc. I am also thinking of including some lifestyle topics in my magazine e.g. relating it to asian food.
