Hindi wedding songs

Hindi wedding songs are a major genre of Hindi film music.[1] They often form the backdrop of some very memorable emotional or joyful scenes in Hindi movies.[2] They are often played during Indian,[3][4] and other South Asian weddings.

Traditional wedding music

edit

In North Western India, shehnai is considered to be the musical instrument announcing a wedding procession. Its South Indian counterpart is nadaswaram. In Northwestern India, a dhol drum is generally played.

These are some of most memorable Hindi wedding songs from Hindi movies. Many of them are frequently quoted. Several of them have been rerecorded as remixes and some of them have inspired names of later Hindi movies. They are played during weddings and are often used to accompany dancing.

In addition there are many folk songs in several dialects[5][6] of Hindi regarding weddings; singing, especially by women, has been a tradition.[7] Many of the film songs were inspired by folk songs.
