Royal Academy of Bhangra / November 18, 2019

Folk Lok Live|Borderless| 2019

Borderless is a celebration of pre-partition Punjab.

Before invisible lines laid down by the British divided Punjabi’s, we lived together, we laughed together,

we cried together and were a part of each others story. Our daily lives, our daily rituals, our traditions and

our dreams were rooted in the same soil. Our love stories carried the same sweetness, our struggles

shed the same tears, our songs told the same stories and our bodies moved to the same beats.

Seventy years after partition and oceans away, Punjabi’s in the Diaspora still have Punjab imprinted on

our souls. We experience the pull of the land, feel the whispers of breeze from the fields and hear gentle

the laughter of waves on the banks of the rivers. What we forget is that we share the same sweet

memories with our neighbours. The Punjabi Spirit doesn’t recognize state lines that divide, it still dances

to the same dhol and tumbhi on both sides of the border.

Through the beauty of Waris Shah’s Heer and Bulleh Shah’s poetry, the movements of Jhoomar and

Jugni, and the sound of the dhol, tumbhi and bugchu; we honour the Spirit and the brotherhood of our

forefathers by exploring our identity, our culture and our history pre-partition. Artistically curated by Vijay

Yamla, grandson of legendary Ustaad Lal Chand Yamla Jatt and Hardeep Singh Sahota of Royal

Academy of Bhangra, and MC’d by Mo Dhaliwal.

In a time that there is so much division and discrimination, so much hate and mistrust; Folk Lok live: Brotherhood will spread the message of love and unity. We will come together and share our stories and let that imprint on our Soul shine and our Spirit dance together.
