Later at night I used my cell to call a friend who is from Pakistan and luves bhangra and asked him to come down to join me at Dundas Square. Initially I had a literally "front row" spot in front of the stage. As I wanted my friend to find me I moved out to the rear area and I connected with him. From that position I decided to take this shot. I kinda like it....but as I had taken many many shots I forgot about this one yesterday ! I have cropped this shot to raise the IT level so to speak :) Swami was composed of 3 desi guys and this girl from the UK. She has a great voice. :)
This shot was taken at Luminato 2010 earlier this year. The dhol always revs up the crowd like a porsche ready to take off :)

Bhaṅgṛā (Punjabi: ਭੰਗੜਾ/بھنگڑا) IPA: [ˈpə̀ŋɡɽaː]
is a type of traditional dance of the Indian subcontinent, originating in Sialkot in the Majha area of Punjab.[1] In a typical performance, several dancers executed vigorous kicks, leaps, and bends of the body to the accompaniment of short songs called boliyan and, most significantly, to the beat of a dhol (double-headed drum).[citation needed] Struck with a heavy beater on one end and with a lighter stick on the other, the dhol imbued the music with a syncopated (accents on the weak beats), swinging rhythmic character that has generally remained the hallmark of any music that has come to bear the bhangra name.

Bhangra is a form of dance and music that originated in the Punjab region.Bhangra dance began as a folk dance conducted by Punjabi Sikh farmers to celebrate the coming of the harvest season. The specific moves of bhangra reflect the manner in which villagers farmed their land. This hybrid dance became bhangra. The folk dance has been popularised in the Western world by Punjabi Sikhs and is seen in the West as an expression of South Asian culture as a whole.Today, Bhangra dance survives in different forms and styles all over the globe – including pop music, film soundtracks, collegiate competitions and cultural shows. - Wilkipedia

Bhangra music was invented in the early/mid 80s in the UK by bands of musicians. whereas punjabi folk is based solely on traditional music from Punjab, bhangra music is influenced by Punjabi as well as western music/instruments traditions.

I can't think to anything more energetic and engaging than an indian wedding party. The bhangra music is an irresistible rhythm dragging everybody into a frenetic dance, including the bride's father, a former general of indian army.
