Punjabi Folk

Punjabi folk music is a vibrant and eclectic genre that originated in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. Characterized by its driving rhythms, often in complex time signatures, and traditional instrumentation such as the tumbi, dhol, and algoze, this genre is known for its energetic and emotive sound. Emerging in the 1970s and 1980s, Punjabi folk gained widespread popularity in the 1990s, particularly among the diaspora community. Rooted in rural folk traditions, the genre draws on themes of love, social justice, and cultural heritage, with lyrics often written in the Punjabi language. Distinctive vocal styles, ranging from soaring melodies to rustic, conversational deliveries, add to the genre's unique flavor. With its fusion of traditional and modern elements, Punjabi folk has influenced a range of genres, including bhangra and Bollywood music, and remains a vital part of Punjabi cultural identity.
