Speaking to HT City, from her home in Brazil (South America), Tanya seems to be still riding the wave as she says: \u201cWe are to perform at a Sikh wedding in Italy in a few days, and they want us to sing some peppy Punjabi tracks. So we chose to perform Mundian Toh Bach Ke by Punjabi MC because when you look up popular Punjabi wedding songs, this one is right on the top. Punjabi weddings are grand, and this song has been a phenomenon… We started listening to it on repeat while trying to slow down the lyrics, and honestly it\u2019s so much fun to sing on a bhangra beat. You just cannot not move. But, to be honest, we can proudly say that we have now gotten even better than what you see in the video.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reading the actual translation mid-practice, she admits, was comical in itself. \u201cI had no idea what the lyrics meant and when I finally looked them up I was like \u2014 wait, this is what we have been rehearsing so seriously?! The Punjabi audience in the comments found that equally hilarious,\u201d she says with a chuckle.<\/p>\n
About the comments, which has been overwhelming, the singer feels: \u201cMy friends in India have been calling me up to say that \u2018They love you both\u2019 which is so cute! The best comment I have seen so far is that \u2018I am a Punjabi and hardcore lover of Punjabi music\u2019 and there was another one stating, To see a non-desi perform this classic has made my day\u2019,\u201d she shares, adding, \u201cWhen you post, you don\u2019t think you will go viral. But, Bhangra is one genre that always gives joy and it\u2019s so cool to see that people are finding our rendition equally fun. The response from audience especially the Punjabis has been incredible! It\u2019s warm, funny and so full of love.\u201d<\/p>\n
Interestingy, for Tanya, India has never really been a foreign territory. \u201cI went to school for three years in Dharamshala between the age of six and nine. It was such an amazing time. I look back at it as one of the most profound experiences of my life,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
Trained in Indian Classical vocals, at the Sahaja Yoga Meditation Centre in Dharamshala, she says her love for Sufi music has kept pulling her back to the subcontinent. Her music listening spans across Hindi, Marathi, Urdu and even Sanskrit languages. \u201cPandit Ajoy Chakraborty is my greatest influences,\u201d says Tanya for whom Punjabi music is the newest found territory. She exclaims: \u201cWe are now wanting to take up the challenge of performing more Punjabi tracks as this has only made us hungry for more!\u201d<\/p>\n
