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.
