Dhadi (Punjabi: ਢਾਡੀ, Dhādi), also spelled as Dhadhi, is someone who sings using Dhadd[1][2][3] and also Sarangi, the folk instruments of Punjab. According to Mahan Kosh Dhadi means, Someone who sings ballads of warriors playing Dhadd.[1] Dhadis are a distinct group emerged in the time of Sikh Gurus. The fifth Sikh Guru, Guru Arjan Dev and sixth Hargobind Rai fostered these singers.[4] They were, at first, set to sing the previously composed Vaars like Aasa Di Vaar,[2] Ramkali Di Vaar and other compositions of the Gurbani from Guru Granth Sahib.[4][5] Later, the contemporary Dhadis repertoire had broadened to include many Qissas, folklores and romances.[4] The Dhadis today are the integral part of Sikh as well as Punjabi music.

Meaning

The word Dhadi can be translated in English to be a minstrel or bard. The word is used several times in the Sikh religious text, Guru Granth Sahib, in the meaning of humbleness. In his compositions, Hazrat Baba Manak called himself the Dhadhi of the God.[4]
