National, 06 May 2025: Coke Studio Bharat, the iconic stage celebrating the confluence of diverse musical styles, drops its third track of its third season – Punjab Vekh Ke. Voiced by the powerful quartet of Jassa Dhillon, Gulab Sidhu, Raaginder, and Thiarajxtt, this tribute plunges into the vibrant soul of Punjab, a land with an untamed, roaring spirit. With each beat soaked in mitti di khushboo, the track is a soulful celebration of Punjab’s undying jazba—bold in its pride, faithful in its essence, and timeless in its resilience.
Punjab Vekh Ke is a heartfelt tribute to the lok — everyday individuals whose lives reflect the spirit, pride, and timeless traditions of Punjab. It’s a lyrical journey that celebrates culture, community, and identity with grace and grit. Punjab Vekh Ke stands at the crossroads of heritage and expression, blending poetic pride with a powerful sense of belonging. Set in the timeless terrain of Punjab, where the air carries hues of unity and wheat stalks bloom with love, the song is a melodious fusion of folk and contemporary rhythms, pulsating with emotions, courage, and humility. The lyrics beautifully paint a vivid portrait of a land where the mitti holds stories of pride, and the breeze hums with the spirit of hope and harmony. But beyond that, the song honors the Punjabi ethos of giving back: standing tall for humanity, embracing equality, and building bonds that transcend caste, status, and fear.
With a soundscape that blends tumbi-inspired textures, deep percussion, and sharp lyrical storytelling, Coke Studio Bharat builds a landscape that’s as rooted as it is rousing.
