Bhai Angad Singh (Delhi)

The following details about Bhai Angad Singh Ji were obtained from Bhai Sahib’s family and very nicely written by his grandson, Ekjot Singh.

Born in Gujranwala (now in Pakistan) in 1931, Bhai Angad Singh was given training in music by his Ustad Prof Ratan Singh Ji from his early child-hood. As a little boy he won a number of prizes and distinctions at musical concerts. He came to be known as ‘Kaka Angad Singh’ and was much in demand at Sikh congregations. His Jatha (party) came to be known as the best in the understanding of their art and almost perfect in presentation of Gurbani Kirtan. With his unique melodious voice, an extensive and deep understanding of Gurbani, correct interpretation of ragas, attractive style of singing and great human qualities, he reigned supreme for Seventy years in the world of Gurbani Kirtan. He performed Kirtan at Gurdawara Sri Panja Sahib. His forefathers were honoured Granthis at Panja Sahib for three generations.
 
After partition of Punjab, the whole family moved to Delhi, where he performed Kirtan at Bangla Sahib under DGMC for 30 Years. He was also known as ‘Reetaan Da Badshah’.
He sings in simplified classical mould and balances the emotional effect of the music with the spiritual appeal of the word by repeating the phrases with subtle variations. He has a melodious voice of considerable flexibility. His rendering of Shabads excels in lyrical refinement. He sings in medium tempo, creating the illusion of a placid flow of a stream.
He lived a simple life of a true devotee. He will be remembered for a long time for his unrivaled qualities as a musician and scholar of Gurbani Sangeet. He took last breath peacefully on 10 March 2019.

  1. Thank you for posting the recordings of Bhai Angad Singh ji. It rekindles memories of the 1960’s when my father had requested Sardar Amir Singh of Singapore to copy on spools, kirtan of Ragi Jathas visiting Singapore. I still have the spools recorded by Sardar Amir Singh. Must find of transferring them to you as the tape recorder (Akai 1720W) is on its last legs. The legacy is invaluable.

    1. You’re most welcome. Most of these are from Sardar Amir Singh Ji’s collection that I had on cassettes. I’m not sure if he transferred these from the spools or if these are from a later visit of Bhai Angad Singh Ji. Wonderful to hear that you have the collection of spools. Which Raagis do you have on spools? May I know where you’re based at? Perhaps we could find a way to convert these. I have the softwares required to convert and edit but currently both my spool players don’t run for more than 15 minutes.
