House Of Bhangra
Satti, Daljit, Karandeep, Vivek
House Of Bhangra is a documentary which teaches the audience about how Bhangra has expanded in the past few years. It proves to be enteraing, educational and imforative.
In this documentary, we show how popular Bhangra has become. We start all the way back in the 1960's and show how it has become popular and expanded since then. We interview Channi Alaap, who was an Artist in the 1960's and 70's. He talks about when he first came to the U.K, how there was no-one listing to Bhangra music and he talks about how it has expanded in 40 years, from the past to present. He also talks about how it is going to increase in populairty in the future.
The documentary is authentic compared to other Bhangra documentaries. We stuck common documentary convetions in the film.
Overall, I enjoyed working in this Production, it was fun and educational at the same time.

Vivek Pun-House of Bhangra Film review
House Of Bhangra
Directors: Vivek Pun, Karandeep Dhunna, Daljit Dogra, Satvinder Garewal- 2007
House of Bhangra is a documentary which overall proves to be all entertaining, educating and informative for audiences who may view it. Combining a range of documentary techniques and methods of footage we were able to produce a unique and authentic documentary.
The short documentary follows in a chronological order , dating back to the 60’s and 70’s to today. This clearly hence exemplifies Bhangra’s development within the U.K. The documentary starts off with archive footage of Bhangra in the past and key factors that make up the genre even today, the documentary then follows onto a interview with highly successful and influential Bhangra artist Channi from Alaap and then leads to the finale which shows how exactly Bhangra did develop in the UK into the increasingly westernised popular genre it has now become. The interview in particular plays key significance and Channi, is a Bhangra artist that came from the past and still is highly effective in working with Bhangra even today. This enables him to view Bhangra from the past and view it today, enabling him to analyse it effectively and both praise and criticise it with great hindsight.
The documentary is highly authentic and unique in the fact that there are hardly any documentaries concerning the topic of Bhangra. This enabled us to be able to stick to ordinary and common documentary conventions and not have to worry about being unoriginal as the topic that was chosen itself is all original, unique and authentic. Hence we were able to effectively compile a range of archive and self-filmed footage to produce a hard-hitting, entertaining and well educating documentary about the Bhangra genre.
Interesting facts
. Satti pranked juggy D off his phone when we were planning to use him for an interview and juggy D phoned back and arranged for a place to beef him.
. A professional artist especially produced the beat in the introduction for the production.

Review:
House Of Bhangra is a documentry which shows how Bhangra has become extremely popular in the last couples of years,we show how Bhangra came into the Uk and the developed onto the mainstream couple of years ago and then we show how Bhangra is now in 2008.
We interviewed Channi Alaap who is been named the God Father of Bhangra, as he was the first person to bring it into the UK, he talked about how Bhangra has changed since back in the day and also what theres too look forward to in the future.
Our aim was too give it a quick fast effect, so we used fast cuts, and alot of montages, also we used beats that were lively with catchey rythms.

Vivek Pun- Final Progress Report
Well we've finally completed the production and we felt we worked well as a team and hopefully this will be reflected on our grades. The production was a lot harder to make then we initially thought it would be, but we're all glad its finally done, because it was both something interesting and very educating for all of us. We finished it off a few days later then most off the other groups due to not finding the right voiceover, but we managed to get someone and we felt their voice fitted well with what was being shown on screen. I think everyone in the group would agree that we would do quite a few things differently to improve the production if we could do it again, but i still think the production is of a high standard and worthy of a good grade.
Vivek Pun- Practical Production Evaluation
For my Practical production I worked in a group of four to produce a documentary entitled “ The House Of Bhangra”. The metaphor “House of Bhangra” was put into effect as it instantly connotes to the Target audience, that the Documentary is solely going to be based on Bhangra as a genre, hence instantly conveying to the audience the documentaries narrative. The documentaries aim is to show how Bhangra has developed in the U.K over the years and how it has both changed and maintained its traditional values over the years, rooting back to Punjab, India.
Prior to making the documentary, we had all decided that every aspect of producing it would be equally shared amongst all the members. However we found whilst working on the production this was not always possible, as some people were unable to join other members of the group whilst filming our footage or editing it. I had felt that the group found filming the footage for the documentary just as hard as it was to edit the production. The reason for this is because we often found it hard to capture footage, as the majority of the time we had to work around people as oppose to work when it was convenient for us. For example whilst conducting interviews certain interviews had to be cancelled due to the fact that certain Bhangra Artists were unreliable, hence making it very difficult for us to gain the desired amount of footage. We also struggled to get footage of Bhangra gigs as we had to film in a somewhat lively environment, in order to make Bhangra appear in the popular manner we desired it to. We had however managed to get hold of enough footage, but it did take a lot longer then the group members had expected and this made us realise, the topic we had chosen was not going to be as easy to work on as we initially thought. We also managed to make use of archive footage that we had managed to research, hence conforming to another documentary convention.
From our studies in Module 2 the group took a great deal of influence and Inspiration from Michael Moore’s Bowling for Columbine and our brief outlook on Dziga Vertov’s Documentary “ The man with a movie camera”. In particular we had taken a great look on both Documentaries use of Montage sequences, and we had chosen to add Montage sequences in particular to the opening of the documentary. We chose to do so as we could convey a narrative by adding a various amount of shots quickly placed one after the other at a quick pace without the need to go into detail or explain them. This hence makes it easy for the audience to identify that through the montages used in the opening the audience is enjoying Bhangra’s lively vibrations hence furthermore commending Bhangra as genre. This also enabled us to “cut a long story short”, as through the montage sequences in the opening we were able to convey what we had wished to but still keep the documentary within the desired time limit. We also took great influence from a Gurinder Chadha Documentary, entitled “ I am British But”. The 1989 Documentary was her first piece of work and as we aimed to do the Documentary was both “short and sweet”. The documentary was about Bhangra, and how it has developed in the U.K. The documentary was also of even higher relevance as it aimed to attract the same Target Audience as us (Young Indians). This Documentary was also very effective in providing us ideas as it included many key conventions that we attempted to apply such as Montage sequences and Vox pops. We also made use of a Linear narrative following all events in a chronological order and in a sequence as did “Im British But”.The documentary also provided us with an idea of where to film and we did initially begin filming at one of the places where she filmed for her documentary (Southall Broadway).
The group also decided to make use of on screen subtitles whilst conducting the primary interview with Channi from Alaap as oppose to using the interviewee’s voice. Despite this not being something that is commonly used in documentaries we felt this was very effective as we felt that the key attention was not to be focused on us, but what the primary audience is required to be shown on screen. Hence it could be said we were merely background characters in the documentary, and though we were involved in the production off it we were not shown on screen, hence conforming to the Documentary Mode “Fly on the wall”.
The group decided to choose Channel 4 as the institution for our Documentary as it is a commercial broadcaster and hence focuses more on the entertaining aspect of what it airs. Though we also aim to educate and inform our audience through the documentary, it was clear that due to the fact the documentary was regarding music, the documentary was bound to contain a more entertaining essence to it as oppose to Educating and informing. We also felt by choosing Channel 4 we were able to target a specific audience as Channel 4 shows usually do. Though we know that the Target audience (young Indians) were already highly likely to know about the genre, we were highly aware that they are highly more likely to view the show, as oppose to our secondary Audience (White and other ethnicities), as they were more likely to be attracted to it and pay greater interest. The group however did think about choosing the BBC as the institution for our documentary, however we did realise that the Documentary isn’t the type to be aired on a Public Service Broadcaster as it doesn’t intend to cater to all types of Audiences needs.
Therefore we felt our documentary was successful in entertaining, educating and informing our audience as we conformed to a range of documentary conventions and applied the use of key concepts into our production. The Documentary aimed to break certain stereotypes about Bhangra and reinforce others, and the group did feel we had done so. We also felt our documentary included authenticity aswell as originality and we didn’t attempt to imitate any other films hence conforming to Michael Rabiger’s thoughts that “Films that succeed—fiction and documentary—do not imitate other films.”

Practical Production Evaluation- House of Bhangra
For my practical production, I worked in a group of four and aimed to produce a cultural documentary called ‘House of Bhangra’. House of Bhangra is a cultural documentary that aims to inform its audience about the Indian music genre ‘Bhangra’. The documentary captures Bhangra from when it was first encountered in the U.K and how it has developed through the years showing the changes the music genre has gone through and how it is progressing now. There is a sense of comparison between the authentic parts of the genre progressing to the present path taken by the music genre. To make the documentary a success we identified that the title had to hold a vital relationship with the documentary if we where to get our target audience to watch this documentary. The chosen title as you are aware was ‘House of Bhangra’ the word House gave the title a more welcoming feel to the documentary as well as giving conations to a documentary based on Bhangra, the word Bhangra was chosen to give the audience a identification of what the documentary will b be based on.
In the planning stages of our practical production, we decided no to assign individual roles and responsibilities as we could share more wider input to the maximum as well as do each task with the input from four people rather that one or two, we where also all very egger to take part in all processing that was to be carried out. We all put in a vast amount of time in our production but it became obvious that our strengths where only used in some occasions as we where not all free to record/edit at the same time. Our strength in producing our documentary was clearly editing since our enthusiasm lied most with this aspect, as we edited our production at home making it easier to gather all group members to edit together more frequently. We where strong as we had covered all necessary documentaries related to ours to bring up a suitable narrative structure to our documentary.
After studying Bowling for columbine in module 2, we gained many profound impacts which where ideal to our documentary. The use of fly on the wall was very helpful as it gave an overall insight to our gigs included in our footage. Similarly using contrapuntal non-diegetic sound in our interviews was very successful because as the dialogue is progressing images of what is being said by the interviewee are shown through cut shots this gave the audience a clearer view of what was being said by the individual as some parts of the documentary may not be understandable by our secondary target audience. We used an original music track made by one of our group members as an intro to the documentary as it created a fast paste feeling to the documentary and the music genre. The use of mise en scene is significant in this montage where parties are shown in various clubs, to show the popularity of the music genre and build a comparison for when you start watching the documentary from the earl ages.
The opening of our documentary is a montage glamorising the idealistic view of the music genre as present today. We anchored all our images with the use of a typical Bhangra paste music beat in the background as we play our opening scene the effect of this is that it would give our secondary audience an idea of what the genre sounds like. Furthermore, we used continuous dissolves during the montage to construct a smooth effect, which in reality was used to enhance the superficial of what was being shown. To contrast the montage effectively the scene slow dissolve from the opening to the old fashioned theme of Bhangra, which begins in Punjab. Here it is obvious that the montage is shown as a comparison between the two different scenes. We thought it would be a smart idea if our documentary followed a chronological order, as it would help the viewers understand our documentary better and help build comparison between the both later in the documentary.
The documentary then goes on to use a range of shots throughout the documentary to convey our intentions and the type of values we are trying to promote. For, example the disequilibrium in our linear narrative is emphasised by cinema verte style footage, which means real footage as we mediated our documentary to show authentic scenes to give the documentary a realistic approach to its audience.
We then chose to use todrovs narrative structure and Rabigar as the two sides of new and old Bhangra is compared in the documentary to show two oppositions throughout the documentary. We also chose to use an interview in our documentary of a familiar face to the Bhangra audience as the interviewee was the part of the first ever Bhangra to ever sing in England. The use of this interview gives the opinion of his views on the new faze of Bhangra and shows a more authentic view of the genre which was used to build comparison between the old and new fazes of Bhangra. The use of the famous artist gave the documentary a more professional affect as well as giving our first target audience the option to familiarising with the singer.
After showing the authentic side of the documentary we then go on to show the more modern and present side of Bhangra to build a comparison to our audience. This part of the documentary begins with a montage of the present Bhangra to show how the genre has progressed and to build friction between both sides of the genre. We also included vox pops as it was necessary for us to show views of the music genre present through the views of someone in that faze this gave the audience an opinion through the eyes of someone else into the music genre.
House of Bhangra will be shown on a typical commercial channel, which can relate to show such documtaries such as Channel 4 as they take interest in such documtaries, which means they may contain our target audience as viewers of such channels.
In conclusion, House of Bhangra shows its purpose of educating and informing its target audience as well as entertaining them through the vast amounts of footage and comparison. The documentary explores the music genre in many ways showing all sides of the argument as well as implementing one by the use of mediation.

Vivek Pun- Progress Report
This week we've captured most of our footage and managed to get the additional footage of a lively gig we required to complete all filming. We've been attempting to sort out the opening and introduction of the documentary and we've tried out a few ideas. We also managed to get a few more interviews done this week, with the primary and secondary audience in order to make us aware how much both audiences know about the genre aswell as make it more relevant to them when the productions completed. So for the next 3 weeks now it's all solid editing.
Progress Report

Vivek Pun- Progress Report
This week we have gotten the most amount of work done so far. Myself and Daljit went to Des Pardes publishing co. and managed to get contact details for Heera, Channi from Alap, and Bahara Panjab diyan. All of the artists listed above have been confirmed for interviews, and the misce-en-scene being used is perfect, as we will be interviewing all of the artists in their studios. Due to the artists confirmed we definetely have a high amount of information regarding the history of Bhangra. We also aim to definetely get hold of 1 or 2 more modern Bhangra artists along with DJ H to include in our documentary which we aim to complete for this week. Me and Daljit have already made a draft of the questions we will be using for the interviews and all the answers will provide the audience with a high amount of information regarding the history of Bhangra. Daljit, myself and Karandeep will be conducting the interviews throughout the week, and we also will attempt to get into contact with artists to arrange even more interviews to add to the documentary. We will also be interviewing normal Indians about Bhangra, and also our secondary audience the white middle class as we aim to see how much they know about the Genre.

RESEARCH!
BHANGRA IN DA UK!
AND NOW!
Bhangra is an icon of Punjabi culture in the UK. With the emergence of so many talented Bhangra artists, integrating Bhangra folk songs and musical instruments with Western music, enthusiasm for Bhangra has developed to become an important part of mainstream music and the UK’s arts industry.
London and Birmingham are the hubs of UK Bhangra and home to some of the best bands.
London and Birmingham are the hubs of UK Bhangra and home to some of the best bands.
BACK IN THE DAYS!
Bhangra was introduced to the UK in the early 1970s with the migration of many Punjabi singers. It created an entirely new stage for the performance of Bhangra music but it was only when bands such as Heera and Alapp fused Bhangra beats with Western music in the 80s that the music took off and the groups had hits throughout the 80s and 90s.
Heera, Alaap, and DCS were some of the pioneer bands of Bhangra music in the UK, successfully combining Western drums and synthesisers with traditional Punjabi instruments.

Heera, Alaap, and DCS were some of the pioneer bands of Bhangra music in the UK, successfully combining Western drums and synthesisers with traditional Punjabi instruments.
In 1990's Golden Star Malkit Singh took the Bhangra world by storm early on in its career, with music, lyrics and singing that added a unique element to Punjabi music and ushered in a new era for Bhangra sounds in the UK. Malkit’s album Tutak Tutak Tutyian made record sales all over the world.
Subsequently, many singers including A.S. Kang and Balwinder Safri produced brilliant Bhangra music in the UK to move the Bhangra industry forward.
The regular visits to the UK from India of Bhangra legends Kuldeep Manak, Evergreen Gurdas Maan, Hans Raj Hans etc. have not only helped to keep the Bhangra tradition alive but have also enabled the music to flourish and make a real impact on the UK charts.
AND NOW!
In the UK, there are many Bhangra bands and producers who have succeeded in raising the profile of Bhangra music in the pop industry. Punjabi MC, Sukshinder Shinda, Jazzy B (Canada based), Malkit Singh, B21, are some of the multi-talented music producers and singers, who have electrified the genre by producing new sounds. Others, such as Bally Sagoo, Rishi Rich, DJ Sanj and RDB have fused Bhangra and Western music to make crossover music, which is becoming increasingly popular in the UK charts. Mundeya to Bach ke Rahi (Beware of Boys), by Punjabi MC, stayed in the charts for many weeks, and introduced contemporary and world musicians to Bhangra music.
Some new bands, however, have been criticised for fusing folk tunes with Western beats. Although this trend can be seen as good news for the longevity of folk in the industry, it has led to accusations of plagiarism on the part of the music producers, with musicians remixing old songs rather than producing new sounds. It is precisely this remixing, however, which has caused the astounding rise in popularity of Bhangra music within the UK.
The only worry for Bhangra music as it stands at present is the lack of new song writing in the UK: either old folk songs are being re-mixed, or new songs are being recorded to remixed folk tunes. There are two schools of thought: one believes in keeping Bhangra music in its real and authentic form in order to keep its traditional and folk roots alive; the second supports the influence of Western music and the fusion of the two genres. Both approaches have their advantages, but it is hoped that music appealing to lovers of both styles will continue to be produced.

Vivek Pun- Progress Report
So far i have completed a high amount of research and analysed a range of media texts relating to our documentary. I have also aided the group in filming footage that we can use in our opening scene to combine a range of Montage sequences. For example we went to Southall Broadway and filmed a range of things such as instruments and shops which are either key to the Genre, or in the cases of the shops highly influential in the development of Bhangra as a Westernised music genre.We also got footage of someone playing the dhol which is a Key drum in the Bhangra Genre providing the beat almost all the time, and we also filmed someone playing the Tumbi which is a stringed instrument also highly used in many Bhangra tracks. Along with the group i have also planned what we are going to be filming throughout the course of the week and we have also started to discuss and plan in detail how everything will be edited and put together. For example this week we will be interviewing our secondary audience the white middle and working classes to ask them what they know about the Bhangra Genre and their views on its development as a Westernised Genre.I also along with Daljit will be going to one of the gigs on tuesday or friday to get some footage of a lively audience and potential interviews with artists. Our group will also get an interview with a well known Mc in the Paragon Roadshow Gurpz(g-Man) who is an example of the collaboration of bhangra with a western genre (Drum and bass)

I'm British But- Gurinder Chada, Analysis- Vivek Pun
"I'm British but" by Gurinder Chada (1990)uncovers the rising of a defiant popular culture, gradually unfolding itself amongst a Western Audience. The rhythms of Bhangra music set the pace for this lively collage of interviews with British Asian youth. Mixing archival footage with present day street scenes of Asians in England, this film exemplifies Britains multicultural society, and how along with the rising range of British Indians during this time period, came the rising of a popular Asian music Genre Bhangra.I'm British but..., shows both cultural diversity in Britain, and shows how Bhangra plays a role in the everyday life of British Asians, and how it has developed into a Genre contending with other Western Mainstream Genres, such as Hip hop , Drum n Bass e.t.c. This film will be of great influence to us as it was one of the first if not the first, to uncover how Bhangra is a developing Genre with rising Western Popularity. Moreover it will provide great input to our documentary as it's running time is short and effective ( 30 Minutes), as we aim to do with our Production.
Analysis of Bhangra Performance, and Dj sanj Next Episode Video-Vivek Pun
The video below clear signifys how the influence of Bhangra from the past has enabled its success to thrive in the Western World. We can see this performance alone is being viewed by a predominantly western audience. Due to the influence from the artists that merely sung in the "Villages" of India, Bhangra was enable to Influence its western Audiences to inspire Western born Indians to follow careers as Bhangra Artists. Below there is also a video of the track by DJ sanj- The next Episode Remix (Patola). This Bhangra track combines Western Music ( Next Episode- Dr Dre) with Old school Bhangra Lyrics, producing a fusion of both Hip Hop and Bhangra. These two videos illustrate how the Bhangra Movement was able to generate itself from being a Genre merely popular in Punjab into a Mainstream Genre forming a Fusion with highly Popular Western Genres such as Bhangra.
Monday, 22 January 2007
Bhangra originated in India as a male folk dance performed in the villages of Punjab during the harvest festivities. Following the migrations of Punjabis to Britain, a new form of bhangra, characterised by the encounter between the traditional dance and mainstream Anglo-American popular music, spread through the communities of the Indian Diaspora, coming to the constitute one of the means for immigrants both to identify themselves as “Punjabis in England” and to reaffirm their tradition and social values.
Multimedia exhibition charting the History of Bhangra music and culture – This archive exploration into the U.K Bhangra sound presents some of the unsung hero’s who pioneered this cultural event.
Bhangra has undergone many changes since its inception five hundred years ago and has become one of the most popular forms of music within the UK and abroad. Birmingham has led the way internationally as a centre of Bhangra music. West Midlands based artists including Malkit Singh, Apna Sangeet, DCS, Apache Indian and Dr Zeus are all idols for a younger generation of Dj’s to look up to.
Soho Road is one of Birmingham’s cultural hubs. Situated in Handsworth, it acts as the main conduit that connects a large Asian community Birmingham’s city centre. The road is also thriving space for cultural and business. Soho Rd was instrumental in creating a landscape for Bhangra to be popularised and was the meeting ground for many artists in the 60’s to the present day. Bhangra was popular in these areas primarily because Asian people who lived in these areas were from Punjab.
The Punjab is the birthplace of Bhangra music. Photographer, Gursharan Chana, a stalwart of the Bhangra scenes has been taking pictures for the past 20 years and has records, flyers, archive footage and posters of events. A short documentary has been devolved, highlighting the unsung heroes who were originators & innovators of the Bhangra scene.

I would expect it to come on channel four at about 10 o'clock on a thursday or friday but as its never been done before on televion im not quite sure.
