LOL @ Some of the comments here. Bhangra in NYC and in USA in general isn't great. They hardly produce any great songs and singers at all. Right now, it's UK and Canada is running the show. Even India is starting to fall out of the map. lol
FYI, Mixing bhangra with rap, dancehall and reggae started in Toronto in late 80's and early 90's. NYC/Americans didn't even know what Bhangra was until Jay-Z did a song with Punjabi MC.
"THIS IS THE BIRTHPLACE ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE EXCITED ABOUT CULTURE"...
This is why I hate so many Americans. They believe everything came from America. You dont even have a "history". Ever heard of Europe you Bhangra cu..? Bet you never even heard of it...
@marcuskilinen funny quote isn't it, considering bhangra is an age old part of indian culture, from long long ago, yet it somehow didn't count as culture until NYC claimed it. haha
You could possibly have as multicultural a mix in Toronto or London -- but Rekha is 100% correct that only in NYC could you have an event like Basement Bhangra. Nowhere else has the same combination of cultures, people interested in dance & music, and the availability of a large enough devoted space to do this in.
True NYC is a good venue. But I have seen similar and just as successful weekly events in Berlin, Vancouver, and Toronto. Sydney must have a plethora of events. In fact, my University in Canada, has had a regular weekly bhangra night for the last 10 years.
When I said "Basement Bhangra could only be born in NY", I was talking about the specific Basement Bhangra party at SOBs and it's specific vibes -- the piece was a celebration of this long standing event. By no means did I mean that Bhangra was born in NYC! And if anyone wants to tell me where to go for some good Bhangra in London or Toronto, I'm down!
