Akanksha Maheshwari & Bolly pop and Malini Taneja

12 noon to 2.10pm

DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid have spent more than eighteen years igniting dance floors with cutting edge music not limited by borders or language. They host the longest-running Bhangra and Bollywood party in the world (Andaz est. 2002.) Few DJs can be said to have changed the sound of their city but that is exactly what DJ Anjali and The Incredible Kid have accomplished since they first introduced Portland, Oregon nightclub audiences to the many varied ounds of South Asia at a raucous New Year’s Eve debut in 2000. The duo has appeared at numerous festivals & club nights such as Beloved, Sasquatch!, Vancouver International Bhangra Celebration, Indian Summer Festival, Non Stop Bhangra (SF), Basement Bhangra (NYC) & Bhangratheque (Chicago.) For festival shows they are joined by Anjali’s dance crew, the Gulabi Gang, showcasing their take on Bhangra & Bollywood.
