-4- Bhangra The Folk Dance of Punjabis The roots of this energetic music and dance are set in the soil of Punjab region — Northwest of the Indian subcontinent —originating centuries ago even before 300 BC when Alexander The Great invaded India. Over centuries it has evolved. In Punjab it is the Harvest Folk Dance. Farmers and families gather to dance and celebrate a good harvest and to bring in the New Year around mid- April. Traditionally, Bhangra is danced to the beat of a drum known as a Dhol, and its movements depict rural everyday scenes such as ploughing, sowing seeds & harvesting crops accompanied by singing. Bhangra lyrics are almost always in Punjabi — expressing reverence for an idealized Punjabi homeland or praise for women’s myriad charms. In U.K. and now even in North America, the distinctive drum-beat is being updated with drum machines, live percussion and other modern instruments and has found play on punjabi radio. Come to the festival and enjoy Bhagra dances by teams from all over California.
