This is why we do what we do! #Repost @juggie_hundal (@get_repost) As a Coach all you can ask for is the respect and appreciation of your students. Trophies will come and go, but love and memories will always be there. From the bottom of my heart, thank you girls. @official_avabhangra... And NO this isn't some retirement speech. People were asking my in Calgary if I'm calling it quits..... Honestly I've tried to walk away numerous times, but something, or someone always pulls me back. On that note F**k retirement, I'm in the scene as long as the let's me be. #RhythmsofPunjabArtsInstitution #AVAgirls #Bhangra #Folk thankful #respect #punjab #proudcoach

Our goal from day 1 was to teach and preserve Follk Bhangra. The journey is long and grueling, but rewarding like no other. @official_avabhangra is one the last teams on the circuit that is folk first and everything else after. It is an absolute honor to be able to coach these girls and preserve our lokh nach. A BIG thank you to Ustaad @gagandholi, who's always been by our side from day 1. The future is bright, and folk is always right. #folk #bhangra #livedhol #dhamaal #luddi #punjab #delhi #ludhiana #Vancouver #chandigarh #VanCity #moga #sialkot #RhythmsofPunjabArtsInstitution #jalandhar #amritsar #california #calgary

Amazing post, make sure to read all the facts below in the repost, and to follow @lapredni. The man is a serious talent. #Repost @lapredni (@get_repost) My fascination with old stuff and passion for this art form bring me back to this video every now and then. In this case, it’s passion - I’ve had a couple of friends get married recently so lots of #Bhangra # been going down. As a Dholi, I’ve always loved Bhangra. The scene is from a 1957 film called Naya Daur. It ...featured OG Bhangra ustads. Video credit to wujatt36 on YouTube. I’m going to attach their description of the video below (it’s fascinating, please read): This is one of the first bhangra scenes captured on film, from the 1957 movie Naya Daur. The video features Ustad Bhanna Ram playing dhol, and dancers Balbir Singh Sekhon and Manohar Deepak. Bhanna Ram was born in 1910 in Sheikhupura, Punjab (current day Pakistan) and learned dhol from Janab Mohammad Ali. Bhanna Ram is thought to be one of the 3 dhol masters from the pre-partition era, the other 2 being Ghuggi and Munshi Ram. [Gibb] Some things of note: 1) The use of sapp/kato: There's some debate as to when the use of kato and sapp was introduced to 'bhangra', so this video places that around 1955-56 at the latest. 2) 'Pagg' styles: It is quite apparent that the dominant style of pagg in this video is sialkoti gol pagg. Similarly, the dancers in other early videos like Jagte Raho also tie this type of pagg. It raises an interesting question since modern day bhangra is almost exclusively performed with a 'turla-tedi pagg'. Was bhangra traditionally performed with this type of pagg, or was it just the preferred method of Manohar Deepak's group? 3) Flips/Acrobatics: The flips and acrobatics may seem a little odd given the modern sense that they are inappropriate for bhangra. However, considering the baazigar background of Bhanna Ram, it is not surprising that they would infuse the dance with elements from that community. (note: it's obvious that the audio doesn't exactly sync with the video from watching Bhanna Ram strike the dhol. However, this is how it was recorded in the actual movie and is not a result of the youtube up See more
