Vancouver International Bhangra Celebration - January 16-20, 2007
You may remember Jay-Z's hot remix of Panjabi MC's song "Mundian To Bach Ke" (original version here), the less obvious use of Bhangra in Busta Rhymes "Turn it Up (Fire it up)" (here) or tuned it up to Juggy D's duet with Chinese-American rapper Jin on "Kohl Aaja (Come Closer)" here. You've had a taste of Bhangra and can't let go?
Lucky for you, you can catch Juggy D perform live, alongside the world's #1 Bhangra band, DCS, and watch international teams compete in Vancouver--the designated the City of Bhangra for January 2007--at the Vancouver International Bhangra Celebration from January 16-20 at Sheraton Wall Centre, organized by the VIBC Society, a not-for-profit dedicated to promoting the Indian dance form of Bhangra.
