Bina Mistry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bina Mistry is a popular British Bangra singer.

Mistry was born in Tanzania, of Indian parents. Later she moved to London where she became a merchant banker.

Her interest in Hindi music led to a job as a DJ and record producer. Her first hit of her own was "Hot Hot Hot" a cover of the soca music hit. Her version was used in the film Bend It Like Beckham.

Bina Mistry also sang a song titled "Dhola Re" featured in the album "A Reason to Smile". It had an Indian theme music video and bhangra beats that began at a slow pace and ended with a speedy crescendo.

Bina Mistry (of Brampton, ON) is commonly mistaken for the Bhangra singer of the same name. Contrary to popular belief, she does not sing Bhangra professionally, although she has been known to perform on the GO train.
