Pao Bhangra 2008
Cornell's Bhangra festival, Pao Bhangra was held on Saturday April 7. I walked in expecting to some a few curious folks, but it turned out that nearly 2000+ people showed up. I was shocked to see the percentage of non Indians both in the audience as well as in the various groups who performed. An awesome slideshow of some very good photographs is available via the Cornell Daily Sun website.
As they try very hard to stay traditional, there was little to no fusion or other experimentation. Apart from Absolute Zero, a local breakdance group that came in at the break, all the other teams performed (to me atleast) traditionally.
