Top 12 Fun Punjabi Dance Songs

Modern Punjabi is a very popular genre of music, known worldwide for its energetic and ecstatic bhangra back beat, combined with a joy-inducing rhythm courtesy of traditional Punjabi folk instruments. Some of these instruments include the dhol, algoza, and tumbi. This genre of music has reached the mainstream thanks to young South Asian immigrant communities looking to respect their heritage and revitalize their culture.

A fusion between traditional Punjabi dance music and Western music was sparked by an increase in immigration from the Punjabi region of South Asia to the UK and US, especially during the 1970s. This style of music delighted Westerners with its creative beats and catchy melodies.

Immigration continued to be on the rise in the ‘80s and ‘90s, which meant that Bollywood and Punjabi dance songs became even more popular. In the early 2000s, Punjabi dance music made a significant comeback in Britain. The highly acclaimed British film Slumdog Millionaire and its associated title track Jai Ho are what brought Punjabi music back into the spotlight.

In essence, Punjabi dance songs are great for weddings, Zumba classes, or family get-togethers. This style of music will be sure to get everybody up on their feet and bring them together, regardless of their culture or background. If you’re looking for a few tunes to help you get the party going, you’re in the right place. This list covers some of our favorite Punjabi songs, in no specific order.
