Chirag Pehchan

Chirag Pehchan was an early Bhangra band in the 80's that featured Amarjit Sidhu, Mangal Dhillon and singer Mangal Singh as well as other people who later went on to form Apna Sangeet. They released a few albums under the Multitone Records label. They are perhaps most remembered for their song, Rail Gaddi, which was featured on the soundtrack of the British hit film Bend It Like Beckham.
