VCU Bhangra brings it at Elite 8 Bhangra Invitational 2010

submitted by RFlagg

VCU Bhangra won this years Elite 8 Bhangra Invitational. Marked NSFW due to use of the d word in the lyrics at the very start (first 30 seconds or so), but suitable after that.
From the Wikipedia: Bhangra (Punjabi: ਭੰਗੜਾ (Gurmukhi), بھنگڑا (Shahmukhi), भांगड़ा (Devanagari); pronounced [pə̀ŋɡɽaː]) is a form of dance and music that originated in the Punjab region. Bhangra dance began as a folk dance conducted by Punjabi Sikh farmers to celebrate the coming of the harvest season. The specific moves of Bhangra reflect the manner in which villagers farmed their land. This dance art further became synthesized after the partition of India, when refugees from different parts of the Punjab shared their folk dances with individuals who resided in the regions they settled in. This hybrid dance became Bhangra. The folk dance has been popularised in the western world by Punjabi Sikhs and is seen in the West as an expression of South Asian culture as a whole. Today, Bhangra dance survives in different forms and styles all over the globe – including pop music, film soundtracks, collegiate competitions and even talent shows.
EDIT: Took out the d word from the description just in case...
