Extremely popular in the region of Punjab and especially in Amritsar, Gurmeet Bawa, a Sikh, is a versatile singer whose repertoire includes the folk styles of Boliyan, Mahiya and Tappe which stand out from the genre of Punjabi Folk music owing to an exuberant, up surge of tempo and a rhapsodic informality. She was born in Kothe village of Punjab and learnt under Master Narendra Chanchal and has been performing for the last three decades. Her singing is a typical example of participatory, social music rendition where all who are present are incorporated into the festive flow. The Algoza, Matka, Dholak and Tumbi give it the quintessential upbeat Punjabi flavor which is enhanced by the incessant clapping by those present. There is conversation, tease, avowals and even sexual overtones to the songs that largely revolve around themes of romance, marriage, in-laws, festivals and seasons of Punjab etc. The lyrics are never stringently structured, all that matters is the punch line and its rhyme with the others- though the whole may almost sound like a limerick! Names of friends and relatives are put in into the verses and there is constant improvisation in this very intimate, simple style of creating and savoring music. The resounding depth of Bawa’s earthy, energetic voice is only matched by the zest and alacrity that her accompanists render the presentation with. Her long sustained singing of notes is an integral part of her style and imparts the performance with elaborate punctuations across its ecstatic space time.
