His popularity paved a path for a new generation of Punjabi artists in Canada fusing traditional Punjabi folk tunes and the language with hip-hop and trap beats. Calgarian Shub Karman says he has seen the popularity of Moose Wala’s music grow on the Prairies, including among those who don’t speak Punjabi.
