In the pre-Partition
era, dozens of rhythms were played on the Punjabi dhol, which
corresponded to specific functions. However, with the decline or
disappearance of some cultural practices, recent generations of
dhol-players have become unfamiliar with many of these. At the same
time, the growth of folkloric staged bhangra dance in Indian Punjab
inspired the creation of many new rhythms particular to that dance.
Some of the most common Punjabi dhol rhythms are bhangra (originating with the old, community bhangra dance), dhamaal (associated with many cultural functions, including worship at Sufi shrines), and kaharva, a dance and song rhythm. The staged "bhangra" dance, originating in the 1950s, gave special prominence to kaharva, for the performance of actions called luddi.
In the 1970s, many more actions were added to staged bhangra to go with
the kaharva rhythm, which started to become one of the most prominent
rhythms associated with the dance. At the same time, this type of rhythm
would be played on the dholki drum to accompany Punjabi songs. So when,
in the 1990s, Punjabi pop songs began to evoke bhangra dance, they used
the kaharva rhythm. It is known now by various names. Some dhol-players
call it kaharva, its technical name, while other players in Punjab call it luddi to refer to the dance of that name. With the style of dhol-playing that developed in the U.K., the name chaal
was adopted—probably in reference to the "chaal" movements it
accompanies in modern bhangra—however, that term is not used elsewhere.
The introduction of electronic devices such as tape recorders
has led to a decline in the importance of dhol players in celebratory
events. Nevertheless, dhol music still figures in the studio recordings
of present day raas, garba and bhangra music artists. A related
instrument is the dholak or dholki.
This
is a drum in which a wooden or brass hollow is covered with leather at
both ends. At one end it is beaten with a stick while the other end is
patted with the palm. It is generally played in Barats, Navratris and
religious processions.
