Dhol & Bhangra: Spent the weekend at a Punjabi Dhol Competition! Scroll down for videos. ✨

in music •  7 years ago  (edited)

That Bhangra beat everyone loves so much? 💃🏻 Thank the Dhol.

The Dhol, though widely used throughout India, is mainly used in the region of Punjab. Now you know where we Punjabi's created our Bhangra beats!✨

Been missing in action the last few because I've been
spending time with my nephews in the city. - family first! 😚

They are 9 and 11, both extremely talented young men particularly in the Dhol.

The Dhol is a traditional drum that is hung from the neck and beat with two curve-ended sticks made from bamboo.

The two bamboo sticks are called Dhaga and Thilli.
The thicker stick is Dhaga and the thinner one, Thilli.

My nephews have been practicing for a dhol competition on Sunday and we are beyond proud. They performed extremely well and displayed great sportsmanship!

Here are little snippets from the competition:

These little musicians play by ear. 😫😍
