Banghra is a Spanish group formed in 2007 with members Lidia Guevara and Javi Mota that tried to reintroduce belly dancing to the mainstream in catchy songs sang in Spanish and English.
Singers / dancers Lydia Guevara and Javi Speck started Banghra with aesthetic urban modern sound, making Spanish fans "rediscover" contemporary belly dancing. Being inspired by its movements, they combine music, dances and exercise. In their first album, La Danza del Vientre in June 2007 became one of the sensations of the summer charts in Spain. In Catalan and English, it takes the typical oriental / eastern sounds of the dance of the belly. The DVD includes the first video of the group, making of version of the album, plus an informative article that teaches the choreographies for ten of the songs in the album and a photo gallery.
The first single from the album that made the group famous was My own way, that was the top spin sounded in pop radios in Spain.
The band is trying to build on the early success with a second album released July 2008.
