HARMONIOUS songs rang out at the inaugural Ladies Sangeet Awards 2026.
Held at the Village Hotel in Solihull, the 2026 event brought together 20 Sangeet singers from across the UK and internationally, including participants who travelled from the USA and Kenya.
It was the first event of its kind in the UK dedicated to recognising and celebrating female Punjabi Sangeet singers, who play a vital role in preserving Punjabi culture through music, tradition, and community events.
The event featured live performances, a traditional dhol opening, Giddha dance, and an awards ceremony recognising both UK and international artists.
Founded and organised by Your Saheli – Empowering Women organisation and Eternal Taal, an all-female Bhangra and Dhol team based in the Midlands, the initiative aims to continue growing each year and provide a platform for women in the Sangeet industry who have historically gone unrecognised.
Parvinder Kaur, director at Eternal Taal, said: “The evening was a powerful celebration of unity, culture, and the often unrecognised talent within the Sangeet community.”
