Series in which Sheila Chandra offers an introduction to bhangra, the Punjabi dance music whose rhythms are pounded out on the dhol - a two-headed drum - and which was originally performed by men at harvest time. Now fused with western pop and still thriving in its native Asia, bhangra has yet to enter the UK mainstream. This edition features music from MK Bhamra, Sangeeta, Alaap, B21, Najma and others.
