Nicely done! If I didn't know what bhangra was, I would wanna learn after watching this video.

Awesome segment, I think they did a great job!

This was a good video..the people on spark actually did a fair bit of research before making the video so they dont end up sounding like idiots.

This video can serve as a great 101 for someone who doesn't know anything about bhangra and the NA bhangra scene.

Can someone provide us with a youtube link for this video? You may have to rip it from facebook and post it on youtube, I don't know how to do it.

 

[Jeeti]

That was awesome...They do a really good job of representing the bhangra scene as it is today...most of the stuff you read and see has a hard time explaining competitive bhangra nowadays and how it compares to traditional bhangra.

I have it ripped, will post on youtube soon

i love the dude from nachdi who goes, "i'm trying to sound smart here!"

really good piece. I want a full length documentary!

 

[kinnell]

That was really well made! As opposed to normal documentaries on bhangra that normally follow around modern teams, this was an amazing combination. The dressing room part was really good!

 

[Basim]

I really enjoyed this as well! The guy from Nachdi was funny and Jasbir from Bhangra Empire singing was off the chain.


I love how they recognized & showed the two very distinct styles (modern & traditional) of Bhangra in North America. One of the best quotes was: "There will always be a debate on traditional and modern, but I think no matter how it was first originated and how much it has evolved now, Bhangra is still an important part traditionally & culturally. No matter what interpreation, it is still Bhangra and it means a lot to us."


What I didn't like was only "India" mentioned when speaking of Bhangra/Punjab.. but that's nothing out of the ordinary being a Pakistani in Bhangra Overall, a very nicely done documentary. I agree with Arjun that it would be great for newcomers to the NA Bhangra scene.

P.S. - Vicky Virk from DholRhythms PWNS Sarina Jain any day of the week ;D

That was really enjoyable to watch! I have no idea what Spark is but all I know now is that they did a great job on this. Great scenes and information for people who don't know much about bhangra.

 

[zagreus]

This documentary should be extrapolated and lengthened...
that would've been even tighter. very well done

 

[kinnell]

I think we also got to see the entire Meistro family (in terms of siblings and Meistro)!

 

[zagreus]

meistro has some pretty sisters

 

[Gugu]

I really enjoyed this as well! The guy from Nachdi was funny and Jasbir from Bhangra Empire singing was off the chain.

Jasbir from Virse De Waris*

 

[Vijay]

Indeed!!

" We are just doing bhangra like its suppose to be done,well were trying to do it like its suppose to be done "
