Bhangra at London Olympic 2012 Closing Ceremony
To provide an Indian flavour at the closing ceremony the Olympic could not finish without some Bhangra music, a host of bhangra dancers “VP Bhangra group” which stands for “Virsa Punjab” dressed in colourful costumes performed with English comedian Eric Idle, much to the delight of the audience which was viewed by 26 million people on TV. Indian athletes like Krishna Poonia and members of the hockey team could be seen enjoying the ceremony.
Some of Britain’s greatest singers and celebrities provided a touch of glamour and vibrance to bring down the curtains on the 30th Olympic Games with a heady mix of music, culture and dazzling fireworks . To showcase the world with BHANGRA music it was a great feeling for our music to show the world how rich it is.
The skyline lit up with breath-taking fireworks and the swanky Olympic stadium was virtually transformed into a jukebox as some of Britain’s biggest pop stars and singers performed in an engrossing ‘after show party’ last night.
We at bhangrareleases.com would like to say well done to “VP Bhangra group” for taking part in the closing ceremony and showcasing bhangra music to the world.
