Dudrah's article on British bhangra explains that it is a fuse of traditional bhangra with newer urban black pop music. Dundrah's article also describes how other authors writing on this British bhangra genre stereotype it and make it a lot more simple than it actually is. After explaining other authors' views Dundrah goes on to explain the genre within his own views and it is much more complex than others see it. Dundrah talks about how it is a great way to get together a bunch of different minorties and not just British asians.
Discussion Question: Bhangra seems to be growing in popularity in America little by little with Jay Z's Beware of the Boys and numerous techno mixes containing bhangra. Do you think that bhangra could ever reach a level of popularity in America where it becomes popular on its own, or just something mixed with "American" genres that have similar elements?
