Polish Bhangra music video

This music video for Masala's "Od Tarnobrzegu po Bangladesz" is a remarkable example of Polish "ragga-bhangra" music -- funky Indian music performed by Poles with a proper bollywood-style video. Link (via Beyond the Beyond)

Whoa! talk about globalization, Polish bhangra. Interesting, though I must say the song kinda sucks.

I have to find more by them - when I started playing the video my 2 year old went crazy - danced around for the whole song, and then pestered me to play it again and again for about half an hour. Does anyone know where to get more track> Or if they have a domestic (Canadian) release?

It LOOKs like a bollywood video visually, which is quite cutely done, but apart from that - Bhangra comes from Punjab in India, not Bangladesh - which is a) a different country entirely and b) on the other side of the India than Punjab, and they speak Bengali!

The song itself sound more "ragga" than Bhangra...
