Bhangra at White House? Obama Rocks!
« on: November 22, 2009, 07:10:05 PM »
It's a moment of celebration for the North American Bhangra community as Bhangra Empire has been invited to perform at the White House. They will be performing for Indian Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and President Barack Obama.

This is pretty historic in itself as Bhangra would be performed for the first time in the White House ( to my best knowledge). Congratulations to all the members of Bay Area Bhangra Empire!

Bhhrruuuaahhh!

Actually, NYU Bhangra was also invited, but then told they wouldn't be able to perform.
I am a douche.
Toronto has established itself as the Jersey Shore for Punjabis.

Do you really think the President knows what traditional bhangra is?

Maybe Obama will join a bhangra team now after his time at the white house is over. :D

That's soooo cool how Empire is going to the chitta ghar to dance, boy I do wish we could have had our boys from Heeray or even VCU go throw down some Bhangra... Oh well, next time I guess.....
I am a Gabroo, but I fell down and couldn't get back up, so now I am a Gabroo Under the Ground...
