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.
Fruiticana is a popular grocery chain in Western Canada, known for its fresh produce, vegetables, and culturally specific grocery items. Founded in 1994 by Tony Singh after identifying a gap in the market for South Asian produce in the Lower Mainland, Fruiticana began with a single store in Surrey, BC, to serve the growing South Asian community. The store provided unique items such as okra, guava, and sugar cane, which were hard to find at the time. The business quickly expanded, opening additional locations in Richmond, Burnaby, Port Coquitlam, and Surrey. Today, Fruiticana operates 23 stores across British Columbia and Alberta, with a large warehouse facility in Surrey to support its operations.
