Description
Photograph of an unidentified group of individuals performing in a cultural show at the Massey Theatre in New Westminster, British Columbia. The group of individuals were part of the University of British Columbia's (UBC) bhangra team, called UBC Boyz.
Massey Theatre opened in 1949 as British Columbia's largest theatre. Massey Theatre hosts musical theatre hits, international music and dance forms, children's entertainers, orchestras, choirs, ballets and stars of music. Governed as a registered non-profit charitable society run by an independent board of directors, Massey Theatre is neither a civic nor a school facility but a professional arts organization which works to support the performing arts throughout Metro Vancouver.
The UBC Bhangra Club was founded on October 1, 1992, by a group of students dedicated to promoting Punjabi culture at UBC. It serves as a vibrant platform for students to express themselves and engage with their community, enhancing cultural awareness and interaction.
Bhangra is a folk dance and music form that originated from Punjab, India. It originated as a folk dance celebrated during the time of the harvest. It's traditionally danced to the dhol instrument, a large drum, accompanied by boliyan, short sets of lyrics that describe scenes or stories from Punjab.
