Live Dhol and Boliyan

Posted on by

The best way to spice up your event is to add a live element. For a Punjabi Wedding, nothing beats adding an amazing Dhol Player and Live Boliyan Artist to engage your crowd. Last weekend we got to share the entertainment stage with 2 of Northern California’s best, and our good friends Gary Bassi and Raju Dholi. The 2 did an amazing job engaging the crowd. Bol Punjab De was there to help with logistics. Check out this short clip of Gary and Raju.

Happy Lohri 2019

Posted on by

Bol Punjab De would like to wish everyone a very Happy Lohri. Hope you had time to celebrate with friends and family this past weekend.

Lohri is a popular winter festival celebrated in the Punjab region of India. Many people believe the festival is commemorates the passing of winter solstice, and the start of longer days. Other folklore connects Lohri to Agni (fire) or the goddess of Lohri, as well as to the tale of Dhulla Bhatti. Modern day, we celebrate Lohri for newly weds, as well as for a birth of a child.

Happy Lohri Everyone!
