Bhangra
Bhangra is a lively and energetic folk dance and music form that originated in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. It is a celebratory dance performed during the harvest season and other festive occasions.
The dance movements in Bhangra are typically energetic and lively, with performers leaping, spinning, and performing other physically demanding moves. The music is characterized by the use of the dhol, a large drum played with two sticks, along with other instruments such as the tumbi, a stringed instrument, and the dholak, a smaller drum.
Bhangra has evolved over time and has been influenced by various musical traditions, including the Punjabi folk music, Western pop music, and hip-hop. Today, Bhangra is a popular dance form around the world, with many people of Punjabi origin performing it at weddings, parties, and other celebrations.
Bhangra has also had a significant impact on popular culture, with many Bollywood films and music videos featuring Bhangra-inspired dance sequences. Bhangra has also been celebrated at various music festivals and events around the world, including the annual Bhangra competitions held in the UK and North America.
