"Jogi" is a famous international bhangra hit in 2003 for the British bhangra artist and DJ Panjabi MC and considered his second definitive tune next to his initial bhangra success hit "Mundian To Bach Ke". The hit was written by Punjabi poet and lyricist Babu Singh Mann and by Rajinder Rai himself (Panjabi MC) and contains additional vocals by Beenie Man in addition to an unidentified high-pitched female singer and prominent tumbi and dhol accompaniment. Bass is credited to Marcel Stepel and guitar play by Andre Dembkowski. A music video was also released.
Music experts say Panjabi MC samples in "Jogi" parts of the beat from "It's a New Day" by Skull Snaps released in 1973 and "Put It On" by Big L featuring Kid Capri released in 1994.
It was marketed in the UK as a double A side single with B-side being "Beware of the Boys (Jay-Z Remix)"
The song was also featured in Far Cry 4.
