Legendary reggae veteran Jimmy Brown recently talked about his love for old Hindi films and fans can’t keep calm. “I always had a love affair with India,” says reggae veteran Jimmy Brown of acclaimed English pop band UB40 as he talked about India.
“My message for the country in these trying times would be a message of commiseration. Both India and England are unfortunate enough to have the wrong people in charge at the wrong time,” he says.
Jimmy added, “It was Indian culture along with the Caribbean culture that shaped the streets I lived on as a child. An inner-city melting pot. An area that was in decline, but was revitalized by the influx of immigrants from the ‘commonwealth’ in the 1950s and ’60s.”
“As far as Bollywood is concerned, I’ve to admit I’m not really a big fan. But I do have a soft spot for those old 1960’s and 70’s Bollywood movies that were made on old technicolor stock so they had those deep colors that used to be in old Hollywood movies of the ’40s and ’50s. And the women were a little more voluptuous,” he added.
Moreover, English reggae and pop band UB40 have worked with India’s General Zooz for a single of their new album Bigga Baggariddim.
