| BHANGRA GROUP |
 |
Bhangra is a very lively form of folk music and dance that originated in the Punjab region situated in the North of India. Although Bhangra was a part of the Harvest Festival it has become a part of such diverse occasions as weddings and many other celebrations. Bhangra has surged in popularity worldwide, both in traditional form and as a fusion with genres such as hip-hop, house and reggae.
As Bhangra continues to move into mainstream culture, we hope to take you there with it through our Bhangra Workshops. The group is based in Amritsar. After setting up, the group attracted more and more members and today has a strong team of Dancers, Singers and Dhol players.
Wedding’s, birthday parties, festivals, processions, charitable and social events, community shows and on television are but a few events where the ‘Gabhru’s’ have dominated the entertainment programme. This unique dance has the western public completely spellbound, and no event is complete without the inclusion of Bhangra.
The vigour, vitality, speed and the synchronisation in which the movements are performed make ‘Bhangra’ a highly enjoyable spectacular dance to watch. No other dance can come anywhere near Bhangra in sheer force and tempo. It is a dance of stamina and the Gabhru’s always take special pride in performing it. |
