Get ready for the second year of BABG!! We are proud to present Bay Area’s Bhangra and Giddha Competition. This competition will be held on September 3rd at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco, California. This is labor day weekend and the show will be on Sunday. Get ready folks to perform at this state of the art performing theater as we continue are focus on keeping folk alive in North America.
The foundation and Vision:
The Bhangra and Giddha competition is brought to you by NPYF. Norcal Punjabi Youth Foundation, Inc is a nonprofit charitable organization. NPYF aims to keep the youth involved, inspired and away from trouble. We stand united to inspire and motivate the youth!
We strive to be true to each other, the participants and the audience. Bay Area Bhangra and Giddha aims to manifest this philosophy by hosting the most fair and entertaining competition. BABG’s number one priority is our commitment to the audience. We want the viewer to feel an out the of world experience at our event. BABG intends to create a platform where performers can bring their talent to lime light and be recognized for their true potential. By hosting this event we will spread values of Punjabi Heritage in the western world. Freedom of expression, creativity, enthusiasm and passion are the pillars we stand upon.
This is your World Cup for Live Bhangra and Giddha!! Come and show the world what you got!!
The two categories are:
Live Bhangra
Bhangra has also evolved over the years in India and in the Western World. It is our duty as a competition to display bhangra that not only entertains but also inspires the youth to keep the tradition alive.
We have taken a pledge to provide a platform that will allow teams to perform to their highest potential. All Bhangra team routines must be live only. Which consists of a dholi(drummer), performers and a singer. You are allowed to add extra instruments like Tumbi, Algoze, Bugchu and etc. We encourage the element of surprise! Creativity is promoted and should be on full display.
Giddha
Just like Bhangra, Giddha has evolved over time as it made its way into the western world. The teasing and fun which is shown in the performance not only displays culture of Punjab but also the new culture of regions where it has found its way. Our goal is to bridge the generations and exhibit a performance that will excite and entertain the masses!! BABG is committed to a standard of performance and we thrive to bring the best out of all the performances. All Giddha teams can perform live or have a pre-recorded voice playback.
Some Rules to keep in mind:
Although we are all mature beings naturally, we are still obligated to pull out the rule card. This will ensure that we can function as an organized event and allow things to run smoothly. So here it goes.
