The musicians call themselves bouncy bhangra-leprechauns and they’ve been climbing the Canadian world music charts with recent concerts this summer from Canada to California, and coming up from London to Singapore. Lonny Shavelson caught up with them in front of an up-and-dancing audience of more than 10,000 in San Francisco’s Stern Grove.
