The Australian TV critics’ choice documentary “The Indian Cowboy…one in a billion” produced by Sydney based production company Gobsmacked Television will be screened on the Discovery Channel in India this month.
| | | Saturday 26th June 9 pm | Repeated Sunday 27th June 3am and 9am | Discovery Networks India (DNI), launched in 1995, reaches a cumulative total of more than 28 million households. DNI’s portfolio comprises of two channels - Discovery Channel and Animal Planet.
The documentary “The Indian Cowboy…one in a billion” is about an extremely talented country music artist from India who is literally…one in a billion . He fulfils a dream and travels to the Tamworth Country Music Festival in Australia. Calling himself Bobby Cash, he likes to be known as "the Indian Cowboy". A charismatic character - tall, good looking and dressed in black leather - Bobby stands out from the crowd. He is soon the talk of the festival, winning admirers with his musical ability and his honesty and integrity. His growing media profile also attracts the attention of a wealthy farmer who offers Bobby an unexpected proposition... Full of warmth and acceptance, this is a story of how faith and/or fate can make dreams come true.
Since the documentary was produced Bobby Cash has returned to Australia on four separate occasions. He recorded his first country music album “Cowboy at Heart” produced by Lawrie Minson. Track one from this album, “Baby so are You”, is currently number 7 on the Australian Country Track Charts.
Bobby has played to audiences in Tamworth, Melbourne, Bendigo, Canberra, Sydney, Orange, Armidale, Gilgandra and Shell Harbour.
He represented his country in January 2004 at the Sydney Cricket Ground singing the Indian National Anthem alongside John Williamson who sang the Australian Anthem at Steve Waugh’s last test match.
Bobby spent the rest of the month in Tamworth for his second Country Music Festival where his album became the highest selling CD for distributor One Stop Entertainment.
After a recent trip to Australia to shoot a video clip he has returned to Delhi and is preparing for the launch of his album in India to coincide with the screening of “The Indian Cowboy…one in a billion” on DISCOVERY.
“Its just fantastic that Bobby will receive the recognition that he deserves in India” said producer/director Colin Bromley from Gobsmacked Television “This documentary is a true reflection of Bobby’s extraordinary talent as well as the warmth and generosity of Australian people”.

Bobby Cash makes a splash down under
Once a cowboy, always a cowboy. Never mind, if he is from Dehradun after all.
Of course, the social hazards follow: Often mistaken for a Red Indian when he says, “I’m an Indian in foreign shores.” Some others thought of him as famous country singer Johnny Cash’s brother. Does Bobby Cash ring a bell? Yes, we are talking about the same country musician with a Stetson hat who made his name at the CP restaurant Rodeo’s, then went on to play at Maurya Sheraton and the Oberoi. Yes, Cash, who never got his due back home, is making news in Australia. He has been featured in some of the top newspapers here, including the The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald and has featured on the Channel 9 network.
Why? Well, last year at the prestigious Tamworth Country Music Festival, he became a sensation. Many country music fans offered to help record his debut CD, Cowboy At Heart. The CD, available in all Australian music stores now, is doing extremely well. “When I return to India, I will talk to a few record labels to release it in India as well,” he says.
He was also invited to sing India’s national anthem in the 4th India-Australia Cricket test match in Sydney recently. A TV documentary on him, titled The Indian Cowboy One In A Billion, tracing his incredible journey from the foothills of the Himalayas to becoming a Country star in Kangaroo country was aired nationally by the ABC last month and will air again on Discovery Channel.
“The Aussies have accepted me like one of their own,” he says. Does this mean he is making a lot of money? To which he says: No, I don’t work for money.” He also has a production and a PR manager who have lined up a series of concerts for him across the Australian cities. So when do we see him back home? Well, by the end of this month. Hopefully by that time, he won’t have to beg for an audience. The audience will be waiting.
As we sit at the National Press Club in Canberra, where he performed on Valentine’s Day, as part of the Cabaret Headliners series to an audience of 500, you can only feel proud.
The audience goes ecstatic, foot tapping with his guitar rhythms, as he makes people laugh by telling them about how he became Bobby Cash from Bal Kishore Das Loiwal. “My dad used to call me Babu which became Bobby, and Kishore became Kish which in turn became Cash,” says the singer. |
