The US Embassy in New Delhi posted the above video of HaviKoro on their YouTube channel. They were doing a performance in Chandigarh earlier this year and shared this info about the crew:
"HaviKoro is a group of street dancers that are natural comedians, actors, writers, entertainers, poets, rappers, designers, and music producers. Based in Houston, Texas, the crew formed in 1999."
"Individually, their performance experience dates back to the early 1990's where they grew up dancing on the streets of Houston. They have performed in schools, churches, theaters, competition events, nightclubs, prisons, juvenile correctional facilities, drug/rehab treatment centers, and other venues all across the United States."
"In 2005, they partnered with Houston's Association of American Voices to perform in dozens of foreign countries ranging from Azerbaijan and Vietnam to Haiti and Argentina, as U.S. 'Hiplomats' representing the unique contribution of Hip Hop to American culture."
