Wedding Songs of Punjab - Volume l & 2

Punjabi wedding songs are deeply intertwined with the lives of the people. They form an essential part of our collective memories, for we have all been to weddings as children and as adults and have heard and sung these songs over and over again in our own homes and those of the others. They are connected with our familiar and traditional customs. Some are born of ritual occasions and some belong to those evenings when people get together in a sangeet to sing of romantic meetings and the joy of love. Strongly rhythmic, with catchy melodies, these songs are sung even today. Their appeal has long crossed the borders of Punjab to gain popularity throughout India for it is not necessary to understand the language to enjoy their robustness and spontaneous sense of joy.

In volume 1, we begin with a fngo, which invites everyone in the village to awaken and join the wedding celebrations. There is a Sehra song, as well as songs from the sangeet, including the lively Sadke Sadke [aandiue and the humorous Ivuidnoranta Pacncha Ve. The volume ends in the rousing [ugni, [indua and Boliuan, all of which have lively percussion rhythms so that people can dance to them, especially the young friends of the bridegroom.

In volume 2, songs are traditionally associated with the bride. We begin with the shy bride hiding from her friends before the ceremonial rituals of the vottlina and Mchndi. Songs from the ladies' sangeet follow. Then come the Sithniuan, the good-humoured satirical verses about the groom's family, to which a riposte comes in the form of the Chhand, an equally humorous song sung by the bridegroom. Finally, the pain of separation is captured in the poignant Chidiuan On Chamba, sung as the bride leaves her family to go to her new home.
