The Bhangra today has a mass following of its own and is soon achieving a cult status that has never been achieved by any other Indian musical style. It is popular not only in India but also in countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, united kingdom, united states etc where it is being used as a different style of singing and also as a fusion based with the western songs.

Bhangra is a lively folk dance that evolved into a popular form of electronic music among overseas Punjabis. Giddha is also a popular Punjabi dance practiced by women in Punjab. Punjabi folk music is highly rhythmic, and very diverse. The western region is the home of styles like dhola and mahiya, while the popular boli style is performed different across the region. The vocals are another integral part of Punjabi music, as are instruments like the dhol, tumbi, dhad sarangi, algoza and Ektara. Bhangra is a fusion of music, singing and the beat of the dhol drum, a single stringed instrument called the iktar (ektara), the tumbi and an instrument reminiscent of an enlarged pair of tongs called chimta. The accompanying songs are small couplets written in the Punjabi language called bolis. They relate to harvest celebration, love, patriotism or current social issues. The dhol’s smaller cousin, the dholki, is sometimes used instead of or in addition to the dhol. Additional percussion, including tabla, is frequently used in bhangra.

Bhangra has come a long way in the 20th Century and has recently taken the entertainment industry by storm. In the 1970s and 1980s, many Punjabi singers from Southeast Asia and the United Kingdom emerged, setting the stage for Bhangra to become a hot new trend in dance music. Modern Bhangra artists, in addition to recording and performing traditional Bhangra, have also fused Bhangra with other music genres, such as hip-hop, reggae, house, and drum-and-bass.
