Usually it is believed that the song 'tum rooTh ke mat jaana' is the first example of the Panjabi folk form called Tappa. I found this one from 1941. There may be others.

Bhaiyaji 1950 Panjabi

Amazing film from all angles, photography by Bimal Roy. music by Pankaj Mullick! The tile music starts with a tune that was used later by Amir Ali in a very successful film Panna (1944) in the song 'kaalee ghaTaa chhaye' sung by Rajkumari. The music pieces had charkhi or charakhaDee that is played by quickly rotating or oscillating it so that the beads at the end of threads hit the drum in the middle. Used in qawwalis much later.
