Dholki folio 01

Ladies Sangeet song pack

ਲੇਡੀਜ਼ ਸੰਗੀਤ ਦੇ ਗੀਤ

A five-song arc that starts with an easy chorus, opens into teasing call-and-response, and ends with the whole room in giddha.

Where

At home, seated around one dholki

Who leads

Two aunties who know the melody

Shape

Warm → playful → full giddha

Before the first beat

  1. 1Begin with a chorus everyone can copy after one listen.
  2. 2Split the room into two groups before the teasing verses start.
  3. 3Finish standing up: the last song works best when the circle is already moving.

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

Chitta kukkad banere te

ਚਿੱਟਾ ਕੁੱਕੜ ਬਨੇਰੇ ਤੇ

Find a melody

CueA short, familiar boli that gets hesitant singers involved.

VoicesOne lead · everyone repeats

ਚਿੱਟਾ ਕੁੱਕੜ ਬਨੇਰੇ ਤੇ, ਕਾਸ਼ਨੀ ਦੁਪੱਟੇ ਵਾਲੀਏ

Chitta kukkad banere te, kashni dupatte valiye

A white rooster on the rooftop ledge—O girl in the sky-blue dupatta.

Swap the dupatta or suit colour for what someone is actually wearing.
