The music wasn't composed for the video.Sidhu said:
The song is done by The Dhol Foundation, it's off one of their albums, Drum-Believable...the song is called "Palace of Love".
I really liked their album, TDF has some CRAZY songs! Very eclectic.

Oh man, TBT back in the day, what an amazing team. In 2005-early 2007, TBT was winning every competition they were attending and wowing the crowd every where they performed. The thing about TBT that makes the unique is their modern style and fairly modern boliyan. I'm sure Gagandeep (TBT's captain) knows a lot about traditional bhangra and if you notice in the video, they did a bunch of traditional segments. However, they made a conscious effort to 'be different' and I commend their choice to stay away from keeping it purely traditional and being innovative with their style,choreo,music,etc. In the end, they achieved their goal of being a memorable team.
I know there was a huge uproar over this back in the day, that TBT does not represent 'true bhangra' and there are still some people who are anti-TBT - to them I say grow up and open your mind. We have a lot of teams who are doing a great job of preserving traditional bhangra and biggie ups to them, but I also support teams who are thinking out of the box and are putting their own spin on bhangra.
The only other team in the US that was keeping it purely live during that time was Gabroo Shokeen (I think).
