The new Punjabi songs have managed to retain their traditional flavor yet at the same time be modern and beat oriented. One can download free the fresh latest new releases hit Punjabi new songs in mp3, real, wma and many other formats. The lyrics remix versions, videos and video clips are also available as free download. These sites also provide with the option of seeing the videos or listening to the music online.
The new Punjabi songs managed to create a niche for themselves and have emerged as a perfect blend of traditional olden day Punjabi folk music, Bhngra and the western genres like rap, disco, hip-hop, reggae, techno etc. the new Punjabi songs have gained world wide popularity due to mass coverage by media like the radio, movies, television and of course the internet.
One of the biggest Bhangra stars of the last several decades is Malkit Singh – known as "the golden voice of the Punjab" – and his group is known as Golden Star. His hit song Guru Naloo Ishq Mitha, which later featured on his first album, Nach Gidhe Wich, released in 1984. The album was a strong hit among South Asians worldwide, and after its release Malkit and his band moved to the United Kingdom to continue their work. Malkit has now produced 16 albums and has toured 27 countries in his career.
Gurdaas Mann also had a huge impact on new age Punjabi music. He started his career in 1982 with his first album, Dil Da Mamla. Since then he has become an idol for many, not only for his musical talent, but also his acting ability. Since 1982 Gurdass Mann has released a number of hit albums, performed at sold-out concerts around the world and recently released the hugely popular single, Apna Punjab.
Bhangra took massive steps toward mainstream credibility in the 1990s, especially among youths. At the beginning of the nineties, many artists returned to the original, folk beats of Bhangra, often incorporating more dhol drum beats and tumbi. This time also saw the rise of several young Punjabi singers. The most influential of these young superstars was the "Canadian folksier," Jazzy Bains. Folk and Funky, he is now one of the best-selling Punjabi artists in the world. Although his music has a traditional Punjabi beat, Jazzy Bains has taken up a particularly modern, thug-like image for himself, perhaps helping his popularity in the process.
Other influential Bhangra artists include Surinder Shinda – famous for his Putt Jattan De, Harbhajan Mann, Manmohan Waris, Sarbjit Cheema, Hans Raj Hans, Sardool Sikander, Geet the MegaBand, Anakhi, Sat Rang, XLNC, B21, Shaktee, Intermix, Sahara, Paaras, PDM, DCS, Amar Group, Sangeet Group, and Bombay Talkies. A special mention needs to be given to the remix artists especially bally sagoo who has hits like tum bin jiya and ban main aayi thi under his belt. He not only helped popularize the remix Punjabi songs in India but overseas as well especially the United Kingdom. Some of my favorite Punjabi new songs are:
