If you like Bhangra, Boston was the place to be on November 12^th, 2010!  Boston Bhangra, Inc hosted their 7^th annual Boston Bhangra Competition, called BBC for short, at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston.  This was their seventh straight sell out event with close to 3,000 people in attendance.  Bhangra fans were in attendance by the boat load!!  This year was also a historic year as the Boston Globe featured the event in the Arts Section of the newspaper. This was the first time a major national publication covered a south asian event with this type of coverage in a 3 page spread!!!  Here is the link: http://www.boston.com/ae/music/articles/2010/11/12/bhangra_fever_grips_hub/

The competition level was very diverse and extremely competitive as they had teams from all over the US.  Teams hailed from California, North Carolina, Virginia, Toronto, Vancouver, New Jersey, 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, 3^rd place went to Nachde Yaar Punjab De from Toronto, 2^nd place went to Anakh-e-Gabroo from New York and 1^st place went to Bhangra Empire from California.

To add even more excitement to the event, Boston Bhangra had special performances by the hot Bhangra star, Jaz Dhami and world famous producer Dark MC!  They are among some of the biggest Bhangra superstars across the globe with hit songs: Theke Wali, Dushmani, Chori Chori Takna and many more!

Bollywood Grill was the food vendor of choice as they sold snacks, dinner and drinks at the venue.

The show was advertised and will air internationally on MH1!  The United States and Canada will be lucky to get these exclusive clips for their viewers!  This is the only competition to have television advertising and airing throughout various parts of the globe!  

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.

Mh1, Taj Hotels, Bollywood Grill and English Helper are some of the bigger sponsors that helped to make this show a reality.
