I amnot sure if it works!

Re: Balochi video

If its a video that shows some dudes in white shalwar kameez dancing to tabla and bansuri then it works. :D :D

Lol, no offence, what is it anyway? A show?

Re: Balochi video

:hehe: :k:

Re: Balochi video

Very Niceeeeee Video.

Re: Balochi video

the music is wicked

its a balochi traditional dance! its very similar to attan/khattak dance by afghans/pashtuns. i prefer this as it sort of creeps up and it sounds very Iraniain-ish too.

guess they need a lot of energy to do that. see if it showed bhangra dancing we d recognise it. balochis dont get much exposure in pakistan so we dont really know much about their customs. every one knows bhangra and a lot of people know the pashtun khattak/attan .....

hav you seen anything like this before?

Re: Balochi video

Honestly, I havent. I never really knew much about balochi culture, (no balochi friends or "jaanne wale"). So does this dance have a name? Maybe so I could remember it and keep for reference.

Re: Balochi video

there are between 4-10% balochi speakers in pakistan, and a number more who speak brahvi, seraiki, sindi , punjabi, urdu, farsi/dari and pashtu....

i wonder how many pakistanis dont have balochi friends? balochis has its own interesting and unique culture. they are similar to pashtuns in many ways.

il try find out the name! actually i think its called BARAN ...as far as I know that means rain in balochi, persian and pashtu......

Re: Balochi video

nice video. I think this is called do chappi (or do chap). You are right tis very similar to attan of the Pashtuns(Afghans).

Re: Balochi video

^ Bhangra is basically dancing for anyone who doesn't know a real dance! :D

I have seen attan. It is just moving around a fire with a sword (not too much effort). True dances require some effort and practice. Look at classical indian dances for example!

Re: Balochi video

OR BreakDance :dhimpak:

Re: Balochi video

Hitting the club scene lately Mr. Bizz?

So how many chicks you got? or did they just leave you after seeing your breakdance moves? :D

Re: Balochi video

dream on dude. You wish you could breakdance.

Re: Balochi video

well what do you define as a real dance? i think bhangra is a dance. it mght not be your standard but surely everyone else almost disagrees with you! i have seem some bhangra dancers in clubs and on the media - it surely is a dance.

attan is not moving around a fire with a sword. attan varies from areas to area incorporating twists and turns and ups and downs. whatever you call it , its tiring!
