No matter how die-hard a Yo Yo Honey Singh fan the bride or groom maybe, you won’t hear a single song from their tracklist! Instead, you’ll hear these lovely Punjabi folk songs that speak to each member of the family: 1. Niga marda ai ve mera laung gawacha Piche piche aunda meri chal ve na ai Chereah valayan vekhda ai ve mera laung gawacha Niga marda ai ve mera laung gawacha Hooooohoooo Aaaahaaahaaaaa Dil de pari'an akh maar maar janne ve Milan main aayi tenu roti de b'haane ve Roti de b'haane veeeee Dil de pari'an akh maar maar janne ve Milan main aayi tenu roti de b'haane ve Roti de b'haane veeee Milan te. From the original 'Laung gawacha' by Musarrat Nazir. It’s a lovely prelude to the wedding ceremonies and a great way to get the family in the spirit of the Shaadi. An aunt with a Dholak and a spoon beats out familiar songs while the family dances and teases the bride. During this time, families get together for informal dinners and merriment at the bride and groom’s homes, and this is where the Dholki night comes in.

While these contemporary renditions have their place in your Sangeet night, you must play the original Punjabi folk songs on the Dholki night!įor those who aren’t in the know, Punjabi weddings often have ‘open nights’ of sorts a week before the ceremonies begin.

Punjabi folk songs are beautiful and timeless- so much so that modern rappers and musicians love picking up these old songs and make them more suited to the times.
