It's hard not grooving along to this great Bhangra performance.

Indian-American group Bhangra Empire busted out a colourful show during Sunday's half-time at an NBA match between the Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzlies at Oakland's Oracle Arena.

Naturally, it's gone viral, having been viewed over 450,000 times and shared nearly 7,000 times.

San Francisco-based Bhangra Empire performed at the White House on Barack Obama's first State Dinner back in 2009. You might also remember them from the fifth season of NBC's America's Got Talent.

Say balle balle!
