New Delhi, 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.
Shantanu Gangane, IMX Lead, Coca-Cola India said, “This
season of Coke Studio Bharat is rooted in the idea of bridging the traditional
with the contemporary, bringing India’s cultural legacy into today’s

artists like Gulab Sidhu, Jassa Dhillon, Raaginder, and Thiarajxtt, we’re

the next generation.”
Jassa Dhillon
said, “Being part of Coke

our stories forward on a platform that’s truly regional voices front and
centre. This track hits hard, it’s unapologetically Punjabi, straight from the
heart, with every beat and lyric soaked into who we are.”
Gulab Sidhu said, “Singing
about the land I love is always close to my heart, and with Punjab Vekh Ke, I
had the privilege of doing so alongside some incredibly talented collaborators.
