Sorry if this has been posted before. Once in a while I'll randomly wonder what the difference is between the two. Is it like saying Toronto bhangra and Norcal Bhangra? Is it a difference in styles? If so, maybe Im not watching these videos hard enough because I only see subtle differences if any. I cannot distinguish between Malwa and Doaba bhangra. Any input, insight, comments, etc are greatly appreciated.

I wouldn't say accent, more like the words themselves. Im a mix, mom's malwai and dad's doaba. It's just the words are spoken a bit differently, I haven't caught any changes in accent.

Edit: Dad was (RIP), dad's side is doaba.

Ok, I was kinda looking more at the actual dance elements. From my knowledge, I believe sadhar college is a malwa bhangra team and they are one of the few teams that I've noticed that has very distinct ways of execution in some of their segments. However, when I see these moves done by other teams, I say "oh ok thats definitely a sadhar bhangra move". When i say that, do I really mean thats malwa and I just don't know it? Mind boggling.

Just two different regions, there is no difference in bhangra style/moves from what I know...just some boliyaans they say "malwe de jatt...doabe de jatt" etc. Other then that its just team styles basically.

My fav Malwa Team: GGN Khalsa College Ludhiana!

There are subtle differences in the way bhangra is done by teams in these regions. One example is the way Mirza is done. Doaba teams usually do it with hands in front during their chaal (similar to how SGPD does it), and malwa teams usually do it pulling the arms in (sorta like chicken dance lol, similar to Gabroo Shokeen and Heeray)... There are other differences in the bhangra itself, but mainly just in the boliyan.

There is not any different between bhangra at all. Lok boliyan are the same too cuz there cant be two mirzay or dullay etc. Like you wud mention ur teams name on stage by saying its name, watever the name, they use to or some still do mention their areas like doaba, malwa, or Mazza in the boliyan. I am from doaba, but malwa is more into bhangra and gidha than any other parts of punjab. Of course they have malwai gidha too.

i remember cheema pajji( coach of ggn khalsa and gadvasu) telling us that malwa bhangra has heavier faster sets then doaba and majha side....doaba and majha have more of fancy type of sets that dont require as much stamina...like u can clearly tell that ggn and suhdar have heavier sets then the doaba and majha sides... go ahead and compare for urslef.....malwa is more folk also

Umm no, he is right, doaba side includes jallandhar area, they talk hardcore like that. Malwe say "wa" ex: Aida karna wa. Go Pappi Gill

And no, that's not "bhappah talk"...

Umm no, he is right, doaba side includes jallandhar, amritsar area, they talk hardcore like that. Majhe do not say diya, but they do say "ta" for example: Mein aithe giya ta. Malwe say "wa" ex: Aida karna wa. Go Pappi Gill

And no, that's not "bhappah talk"...

i thought majha side said "diya" and "wa"

Doaba--
Jalandhar
Kapurthala
Hushairpur
Nawa Pind

Malwa
Moga
Ludiana

Majha infact do say...Meh Kam Karan Diyan....Smalhi said it herself, she is from Majha i suppose
