The Rough Guide to Bhangra is a world music compilation album originally released in 2010.

The album was compiled by DJ Ritu, a British-born musician, BBC Radio 3 host, and co-founder of Outcaste Records.

[1] Brad Haynes coordinated the project, Laurence Cedar mastered the work, and Phil Stanton was the producer.

Patel thought the album should be an historical overview, and lamented the omissions of Gurdas Maan, Malkit Singh, and B21.

She also felt Disc Two should have been replaced by another various artist compilation, and wrote that the overall release "falls short of being a definitive introduction" (this is in marked contrast with the first edition, which Ted Swedenburg of PopMatters named "the definitive introduction").
