Soho Road to the Punjab
An exciting visual arts exhibition that charts the history of Bhangra and its beginnings in Birmingham. Music Champions from the Bhangra scene came together to work on the exhibition to create an informative and interactive journey through Bhangra.
Below is a great video by Art Vinyl exploring the exhibition.
Bhangra music is a genre that comes from the Indian subcontinent and sung in Punjabi. Bhangra: Birmingham and Beyond traces its birth in the UK to when migrant workers from the Indian subcontinent and East Africa arrived in the country in the 1960s, many settling in West Midlands areas such as Birmingham.
