Especially because of the use of the Diablo, typical Chinese tool. Diablos of different measures (of 3cm the smaller one, of half a meter the biggest one)will be thrown up reaching an incredible height. At the closing of the performance, the diablos will fly over the audience’s heads.

INDIA – PANJABI MC
Start time: 20:00
Place: Piazza San Marco
Panjabi Mc, the true multi-ethnical phenomenon of Anglo-Indian music. Mc’s Bhangra Music, melting electronic “dance” rhythms with Indian music’s typical sounds, has reached a great success. A real International phenomenon recently awarded with the MTV Europe Music Award 2003. Traditionally the Punjab’s populations celebrate the end of the hem’s harvest – called in India Bhang (from this word comes the name bhangra) – with dances performed on the rhythm of both a big wooden drum called Dhol and a string instrument, the Tumbi, also irreplaceable for its particular high key and frenetic movement. These dances are accompanied by difficult acrobatics driven by the pressing rhythm. The songs’ texts are simple, often telling either about the dances or about the traditions linked to these dances. The migratory flux of Indian populations to European countries, especially to England, has been also followed by the bhangra music that has been greatly transformed and contaminated over the years. Currently, the new Anglo-Indian generations, even though still maintaining the original melodies and sounds, gave birth to a more modern bhangra blended with pop, rap, raggae, dance and the London clubs “cool” music. Thanks to the single hit Mundian To Back Ke, the Anglo-Indian deejay Panjabi Mc, had great success also in Italy.
