The Voice of Canada News:
On August 4th, 2018, Saath Foundation is producing once again North America’s Biggest Live-Only Bhangra Competition under its Multiculturalism Initiative, at the Flower City’s most prestigious venue, The Rose, in Brampton, Ontario: Flower City Bhangra. This year, the foundation is hosting its second annual competition, which is co-produced by The Rose itself, adding value to the aim it carries to broaden the competition’s audience.
Canada is the most diverse and multicultural country in the world. Providing the opportunity to preserve Punjabi Folk Culture and its pride. Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area are home to a large population of the Canadian South Asian community, particularly to the Punjabi community, and hiding under its sceneries are some of the most talented Bhangra dancers and academies.
The traditional folk dance of Bhangra is one of the most valued heritages of the Punjabi culture and is very much alive across the World, not only bringing and holding a community together through the preservation of their culture but also welcoming neighboring communities to witness and enjoy its art. Saath Foundation has taken it upon itself to extend the livelihood of the folk dance and the Punjabi Culture, and showcase to the world the aptitude of the most elite academies of the continent and from around the world, by launching the first ever Live only North American Bhangra Competition.
Saath Foundation, meaning “Companionship” in several South Asian languages, is a Not-for-profit organization that aims to raise awareness about social problems, bring communities together, support those in need and promote multiculturalism through cultural and social events.
