The Rough Guide To Bhangra
Track 2 'Mera Laun Gawacha' by DJ Bally Sagoo, Rama and Rama Sagoo from the 2000 compilation album The Rough Guide To Bhangra. Capturing the imagination of Asian Britain, bhangra has rapidly grown in popularity in recent years. Firmly rooted in Pujabi folk, bhangra adds western influences such as electric guitars, synthesisers and drums to create a unique sound. It was developed in Britain in the 1980s by first and second generation immigrants from the Punjab region of India and Pakistan forming the Punjabi diaspora, drawing from music and song of the Punjab region as well as various Western musical styles. It is seen by some in the West as an expression of South Asian culture as a whole.

During the last thirty years, Bhangra has enjoyed a surge in popularity worldwide, both in traditional form and as a fusion with genres such as hip-hop, house, and reggae. Birmingham is considered to be the hub of Bhangra music. People traditionally performed Bhangra when celebrating the harvest. During Bhangra, people sing Punjabi Boliyaan lyrics, at least one person plays the the dhol drum, and other people may play the flute, dholak drum, or other musical instruments. While Bhangra began as a part of harvest festival celebrations, it eventually became a part of such diverse occasions as weddings and New Year celebrations.
