Hosted by Cornell Bhangra, this year’s annual celebration of Punjabi culture featured groups from across the nation: MIT Bhangra, Princeton Bhangra, Buffalo Bhangra, Binghamton Bhangra and Apna Virsa Academy — each with a unique performance, but the same glowing smiles. The program also included guest appearances by hip-hop dance group BASE Productions and South Asian a capella group Tarana. Cornell Bhangra has performed not only around Cornell but also on stages as large as America’s Got Talent and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Not to mention, watching a PAO Bhangra performance holds a spot as #57 on The Cornell Daily Sun’s very own “161 Things Every Cornellian Should Do” list. PAO Bhangra brings together Cornell University students, faculty, staff and members of the broader Ithaca community for a thrilling night of dance and music.
