Press Release 11/19/2015
If you like Bhangra, Boston was the place to be on November 14th, 2015! Boston Bhangra, Inc hosted their 12th annual Boston Bhangra Competition, called BBC for short, at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston. This was their twelfth straight event in the massive 3,000 person hall! Bhangra fans were in attendance by the boat load!! This included both South Asians and Americans alike! There were at least 30% non-south Asians in the audience which is showing just how diverse a dance Bhangra is becoming!
The competition level was very diverse and extremely competitive as they had teams from all over North America. Teams hailed from California, Virginia, North Carolina, Michigan, Toronto, New York, and of course, Boston. These teams put on a great show and made it very difficult for the judges.
All 12 teams put on a great show, but after everything was done, 3rd place went to New England Bhangra Club from Boston, 2nd place went to Bhangra Empire from California, and 1st place went to Khirre Phul Gulab De from North Carolina.
To add even more excitement to the event, Boston Bhangra had a special performance by the world famous Bhangra star, Kay V Singh! The crowds went wild for both performers as they showcased their vocals to the audience.
Shalimar of India was the food vendor of choice as they sold snacks, dinner and drinks at the venue.
Overall, this was a very successful year for the Boston Bhangra Competition, as all the pieces came together and everybody enjoyed the 3.5 hour show. We highly recommend checking out this show which takes place in mid November every year.
E3UK, Ocean Spray, and India New England are some of the bigger sponsors that helped to make this show a reality.
