bhangra:authentic

Experience Bhangra again, for the first time.

VIBC presents bhangra:authentic, an original stage production exploring the art of traditional Bhangra. bhangra:authentic takes you on a journey, from the roots of Bhangra in the fields of Punjab, to the hardwood floor of the Orpheum Theatre.



Did you know that 'Bhangra' is actually an umbrella term for a variety of ancient folk dances from the Punjab, each, with their own special significance and history? Each traditional dance of Bhangra, Punjabi folk instrument and folk songs will be performed on-stage, with a narrator introducing and explaining the meaning and foundation of each vital aspect.

Choreographed and scripted by Tejinder Singh from Surrey India Arts Club, bhangra:authentic brings the most esteemed Bhangra practitioners in Vancouver together to present traditional Bhangra to the City of Vancouver.

Performers include Surrey India Arts Club, PAAR Club, Raymen Bhullar, vocalists Rajesh Raju from California, Binder Rhode from PAAR Club, and Gogi Bains, and several other talented artists.
