Guys, this is not just any random representative of "old men." It's 'Bhangra Master' Harbhajan Singh. He was one of the creators/shapers of modern stagi bhangra. He led the Republic Day teams from 1960 onward for many years. Because he actually saw people dance bhangra before '47 and then moved to his village Khokhar Faujian in which some old bhangra-dancing guys also lived...and because he got into education (the platform of dissemination)...he has been one of the very important sources of info on older bhangra.


The move at :20 is evidently one of his signature moves...I think he may call it "lahiria" IIRC (yes, I know there are other moves called that). Bhangra moves tend to blur together on me nowadays  ??? . Can anyone attest to doing that move commonly, or does it also look fairly unique to most? Of course, he is very old now and it's missing the wow factor, in the footwork, that it once had.

Hey taminder,
Thanks for the photo, and crediting it to me. However, in the future please don't post (redistribute) my photos from copyrighted works--because now everyone can just take that photo for free and out of context. If I have something available free and available on-line (including photos), please link to that instead.
No worries this time.
