Among the songs in the album are Bhangra Paun Nu, Punjab Mera, Mahi Meri Jaan,Naram Jehi, Jindh Mahi and Kinni Sohni. This, of course apart from the two all time biggies 8212; Tootak Tootak Tutiyan and Gur Nalo Ishq Mitha. And if you8217;re looking for any image of the first version of these songs you8217;d heard, forget it. There are more beats to these songs now, makingthem more foot-tapping than ever before. For those who like non-stop bhangra, a good deal.
