East Village Beats

Posted by on

This man behind the counter at this Punjabi bodega/food spot on 1st and Ave A has it going on!  Listen to him bust out in Bhangra, a type of music and dance from the Punjab region. The Punjabi farmers who first started this folk music were celebrating the Vaisakhi, a harvest festival, which marks the beginning of a new solar year and new harvest season.  This video brings me back to my days living in the East Village…love it!
