World Bhangra Day

World Bhangra Day The World Bhangra Council proudly presents the annual ‘World Bhangra Day’ which will take place online on the 25th August 2014.

Led by volunteers from the local community, the Bhangra Renaissance heritage project focuses on the origins of the dance form of Bhangra and its impact on the identity and shared heritage of participants involved. VIRSA (which means heritage in Punjabi) is a not-for-profit community group made up of young professionals and volunteers from the community who aim to research, practice and celebrate t

he heritage of South Asian Arts in Kirklees. Working with a range of services from the museums and libraries to the sports development teams and local schools, colleges as well as the university, we aim to strengthen the understanding and the preservation of memories based around Bhangra, a folk dance from the Indian sub-continent. Through this project we will be able to give participants a richer sense of identity and a deeper understanding of the cultural heritage of Bhangra. The project will also be an opportunity to develop new bonds, understanding and fellowships with members of the wider community through the dissemination of the project, its research and findings in creative new and interactive ways. We are working with 20 schools and colleges to delver Bhangra dance workshops giving participants the opportunity to get involved with the first ever 'World Bhangra Day' celebrations that will take place at the Huddersfield Town Hall on the 13th Arpil 2013.

Today, the entire Panjab and the Panjabi community worldwide grieve the loss of the soulful voice that has now fallen silent forever. After a brief illness, Surinder Shinda, the iconic figure in Panjabi music, took his last breath at a hospital in Ludhiana.
Surinder Shinda, born as Surinder Pal Dhammi on May 20, 1954, in Jalandhar, Panjab, has left an indelible mark on the Panjabi music industry with his soulful and powerful voice. He breathed life into countless songs and captivated audiences with his unique style and mesmerising performances.
The loss of Surinder Shinda is today mourned by millions of fans worldwide, who were touched by his music and influenced by his artistic brilliance. His legacy as a trailblazer and his remarkable body of work will continue to inspire and resonate with generations to come. Surinder Shinda's memory will forever remain etched in the annals of Panjabi music history.
I may not have met Shinda ji directly, but had the chance to collaborate on this project below. I extend my deepest condolences to Surinder Shinda's family, friends, and fans during this difficult time. May his soul rest in peace as his music lives on, forever cherished.
