One of the highlights of this week's Broadstairs Folk Week was a young Banghra band (well, "6-piece band fusing funky-bhangra-reggae-rock, with Asian influences combining with Western rock beats") Kissmet which went over a storm in the final show on Friday in the concert marquee, with a crowd, made up of people of all ages, going wild. I don't think there is any doubt that Banghra can go down well with all kinds of people, when they get to be present in a Bhangra gig.

"Lack of familiarity with the music form or the language" seemed competely irrelevant on Friday. (Have a listen down that link I gave.)
