Jai Ho!

Ok so my friends and I went to this little underground club in San Francisco that has Indian dancing once a month. Let me tell you...it was soo much fun! It is Indian music mixed with current day rap music and the DJ's were soo good. They mixed the sickest beats! There was a guy that has a big drum strapped to him and he came out on the middle of the dance floor and played. Then at the end, they had a rapper come out and flow (and he was really good!). We took some pictures but let me warn you....we were dripping with sweat! So we were not all that cute but we didnt even care...we were dancing the entire time.







By the way...Have you seen the movie Slumdog Millionaire? If you havnt you should. I thought it was a very good movie. It was very well put together, great music (I bought the soundtrack), great actors & actresses (especially the little kids), and it dipicted that part of India well.

Here is one of my favorites songs from the soundtrack. The original song "Jai Ho" is done by A.R. Rahman....they also have one that is a re-make he did with the Pussycat dolls (ugh). The original is soo much better...
Here it is...



This is another one of my favorites...


Since we went Indian dancing we were asking my friend Marys' friends from school (which are Indian) everything about it. He sent her some videos of some cool Indian dancing so we would know a little what to expect prior to going. Here are some of the videos...
