Dholki folio 04

Jaggo boliyan pack

ਜਾਗੋ ਦੀਆਂ ਬੋਲੀਆਂ

Quick boliyan made for movement: a clear opener, familiar hooks, a personalised line and enough breathing room for the dhol.

Where

Before the gaggar procession and again when the group returns

Who leads

Nanke, cousins and one caller with a loud voice

Shape

Call → answer → procession

Before the first beat

  1. 1Agree one hand signal for the dhol to stop after each boli.
  2. 2Keep the procession set to short couplets; save long verses for the courtyard.
  3. 3Put the family-specific boli last so the nanke can lead the loudest response.

The singing order

Two complete songs to try

01

Tappian di ae vaari

ਟੱਪਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਏ ਵਾਰੀ

Find a melody

CueThe cleanest way to announce that the tappe exchange has begun.

VoicesEveryone calls the hook · girls and boys answer

ਟੱਪਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਏ ਵਾਰੀ

Tappian di ae vaari

Now it is the tappe's turn.

Replace the city and names so the opening belongs to your room.

02

Gaddi aayi teshan te

ਗੱਡੀ ਆਈ ਟੇਸ਼ਨ ਤੇ

Find a melody

CueDrop this between longer boliyan to keep the pace moving.

VoicesA lead sings the couplet · the circle repeats

ਗੱਡੀ ਆਈ ਟੇਸ਼ਨ ਤੇ, ਪਰ੍ਹਾਂ ਹੱਟ ਵੇ ਬਾਬੂ

Gaddi aayi teshan te, parran hatt ve babu

The train has reached the station—step aside and let us see our beloved.
