Bhangra - one night at Montecasino

The Bhangra Group, from the Punjab, India, is performing for one night only at Montecasino on Monday, 19 October 2009. Bhangra is the most popular and virile community dance of the Punjab nation and consists of highly complex dancing with much acrobatic movements, depicting spontaneous vigour and vitality - all to the beat of a traditional drum.

Witness the Punjabi Sabhyachar Kender - a dance established in 1986 to promote traditional Punjabi culture to other Indian communities, providing understanding and co-operation between the people of India. Showcasing everything from instruments to folk songs and dances, the Bhangra group will also perform the most popular Punjabi dance, Jhoomar - a distinctive folk dance of Southern Punjab, and Jindua - described by the Punjabi people as a love showing dance and song, based on the popular folk tune Jind Mahi Je Chale Ho Patiale.

The performance is free and will consist of two 45-minute segments on the Montecasino Main Stage, opposite The Raj restaurant. The first segment starts at 7.30pm and the second at 8.45pm.
