Learn more: Bhangra (music) on Wikipedia
Supplemental context
This selection links Punjabi musical heritage with the development of British Asian popular music. The linked history describes bands and cassette circulation as part of that transformation. For a future reader, the relationship between inherited practices and new recording settings is more useful than a simple traditional-versus-modern divide.
Creator/community: Punjabi musicians and dancers; British Asian bands, producers and audiences Place/era: Punjab and diaspora, including late-twentieth-century Britain
Context and limits
The 1980s date describes a particular popular-music context, not the beginning of every bhangra practice. The dhol and studio equipment are invented; the image supplies neither a beat transcription nor dance instruction.
