Boliyan

Europe North America Oceania Boliyan or bolis are couplets that are sung in Punjab.

Usually a boli is sung and introduced by one woman, and then other girls form a chorus.

Whilst dancing the giddha, the women sing in sonorous voices, to the accompaniment of the dholak (drum), ghadda (pots) or to the beat of clapping.

The ghadda is played by gently striking a ring or a small stone on it in keeping with the rhythm.
