Bhangra music originates in the Punjab, the Punjab state is now divided between India nd Pakistan (hence the recurring wars and tensions between the two), each part shares a common culture which includes Bhangra music. Bhangra is a fusion of music, singing and the beat of the dhol drum, a single stringed instrument called the iktar. The accompanying songs are small couplets written in the Punjabi language called bolis. They relate to harvest celebration, love, patriotism or current social issues.
Today the word bhangra is more associated with the style of dance pop music derived from the above mentioned musical accompaniment. The dhol's smaller cousin, the dholaki, is sometimes used instead of or in addition to the dhol. Additional percussion, including tabla, is frequently used in bhangra.
Bhangra has always been popular amongst Punjabi people all over the world, but it has enjoyed a resurgence over the last ten years or so. Its raw traditional sound is often supplemented with contemporary musical styles. In its more recent history, bhangra has been fused with disco, reggae, techno, house, ragga and now jungle.
Natives American do not have Bhangra music, it would do you well (especially if you are from the USA) to learn the proud history and culture of at least some of the Native Nations of the Americas.

Bhangra is a music from India. To be more precise it originates from the Sikhs of Punjab. It became popular in the UK in the 90's and is played by Indian immigrants.

Bhangra is northwestern Indian farmer music that used to be sang to celebrate the harvest in Punjab which used to compromise of a massive land mass in India including the states now known as Harayana, Himachal and Chandigarh. Other types of Bhangra like the western form are just hybrids of this.
