Music of Punjab
The music of Punjab reflects the traditions of the Punjab region associated with Punjabi language. Punjab is a region of the Indian subcontinent currently divided into two parts: eastern Punjab, in India and western Punjab in Pakistan. The Punjab has diverse styles of music, ranging from folk and Sufi to classical, notably the Patiala gharana. Contemporary Punjabi music has tended to include more modern hip-hop and R&B sounds. While this style of music is most popular in Punjab, it has seen popularity across the subcontinent and areas with large Punjabi diaspora populations, such as Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In India, 331 music-records and 47 music-tapes were produced in Punjabi by 1989.
