Two Canadian Sikh Men Win Internet With Their Bhangra Routine At Peggy's Cove

29 Sep, 2016

In a video that has now gone viral, two members of Halifax-based dance group Maritime Bhangra Group is seen doing the Punjabi dance to "Jatt Mele a Gya" at the Cove.

"Whenever we go out and dance, we just upload it," group founder Hasmeet Singh tells The Huffington Post Canada. "We didn't expect this one to spread like fire."

The 26-year-old dancer, originally from Punjab, India, says he hopes doing these types of videos will get people more interested in his culture, especially in a province that has a small Punjabi population.

"Just because we look different, we have turbans and we have beards, we get stared at," Singh says. "[By dancing] we want to tell people who we are and why we're doing this."
