Watch: Bhangra Fever Hits Basketball Courts, NBA Half-Time Video Goes Viral

Darpan News Desk, 28 Mar, 2017 01:04 PM
    A dance performance by Indian-American dancing group Bhangra Empire during the half-time show of a professional basketball match in the US on Sunday night is winning hearts, with its video going viral on social media.
     
    The group comprising of both men and women dominated California’s enormous Oracle Arena at Oakland for around five minutes with its power-packed bhangra performance.
     
    Watch the video below:
     
     
    The video posted on NBA’s official Facebook page has become a rage with over 14,000 reactions, 2,400 comments and 406,000 views (at the time of writing).
     
    In fact this isn’t the first time Bhangra Empire have performed during an NBA game. This is the seventh year in a row that Bhangra Empire have produced a glittering show at a game featuring the Golden State Warriors.
     
     
    Established in 2006, Bhangra Empire is a dance troupe based in California's Bay Area. The troupe consists of current college students as well as recent graduates who say their mission is "to bring bhangra to the mainstream, one performance at a time."
     
    In 2009, Bhangra Empire even performed at a White House State Dinner, hosted by then US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama in honour of then Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh.
     
    Here's a clip of Bhangra Empire freestyling to Shape of You while rehearsing for the halftime show:
