Vijay Yamla is one member of five that form PunjabTronix, a newly commissioned project from Asian Arts Agency. This is the second in a series of five films that display their musicianship.

Coming from celebrated musical stock, Vijay is the grandson of Punjabi folk singer, Yamla Jatt. Vijay is a multi-instrumentalist of the highest calibre and his vast knowledge of traditional Punjab instruments is second to none. Here he plays (in order of appearance) the Tumbi, Algoza, Bugchu Pungi and Murchang.

PunjabTronix features a new live collaboration between established British-Indian electronic music producer Swami and the finest folk musicians from Punjab, synchronised with unique live mixed digital video projections.

On stage, Vijay adds to the eclectic mix, which compliments Swami's electronic melodies.

The premiere UK tour of PunjabTronix took place in July 2017, with performances at Horniman Museum & Gardens (London), Arnolfini (Bristol), Norwich Arts Centre, Cambridge Junction, Rich Mix (London), Mac Birmingham and New Art Exchange (Nottingham). There are plans to tour PunjabTronix internationally in 2018.
