HI Duke,
That is a video of a popular punjabi sikh (BTW sikhs ar not muslims, it's a completely different religion) singer called Daler Mehndi.
He is extremely popular singing bhangra style folk music. Some of the readers on here (esp. the ones in Britain & India) may know how popular bhangra style dance music has become in the nightclubs of Britain & of course INdia, over the last 10 years.
I like Daler...most of his songs are good, catchy folk songs set to a dance beat. He is amazingly popular at Indian parties.
BTW, the language he is singing in is, of course, Punjabi, which is one of the 22 main state languages of India (I can speak & understand it).
The translation in the video is amusing, but unfortunately has nothng to do with the actual words (for example the word "duke" does not occur anywhere in the song).
I like youtube: really gives us the opportunity to experience videos of different cultures.
