Is Bradford Mela just for Asian people?
No. Melas around the world have always represented local people and local cultures – Bradford is home to a very broad range of different communities and backgrounds and as such the Bradford Mela reflects that mix. The traditions from all corners of the world and every continent have been presented at Bradford Mela; from the Yurt tents of Outer Mongolia and kora players from Timbuktu, to salsa dancers of Latin America and didgeridoos from the Australian outback. You’ll find French crepes sold alongside Jamaican chicken, Kashmiri delicacies and Indian vegetarian foods.
