Ok, this is a really, really, really obscure contest but the winning video amused me so I thought I’d post it. The contest was called “Bhangra Rocks!” What is Bhangra? The contest announcement on the Bhangra Rocks website explains it a bit:
“Bhangra – It is India’s quintessential dance form, that brings a smile on every face with the sheer melody of its beats and those footloose dance steps. Internationally recognized as the ultimate dance form of fun and enjoyment, we invite all you dance enthusiasts to shake a leg – bhangra style! Go as unique and creative as you can get. Go Bhangra on your favorite Punjabi track or on the latest number of your star hip-hopper. Bring on the beats, let your hair down and have someone record it while you enjoy to the desi (or not so desi) music.”
Though I was tempted to go bhangra on my favorite Punjabi track, I did not get around to submitting an entry for this one. Good thing too because these dudes would have blown me out of the water!
