Unfortunately we do not have much information about the late Bhai Avtar Singh Aajiz. Based on the recordings available, we know that he has traveled to Bangkok, Thailand and Canada. According to Sardar Didar Singh Chana and family, they used to get the most requests for recordings of Bhai Avtar Singh Aajiz’s Kirtan from the Sangat of Canada. Bhai Sahib had a a very sweet voice, and when combined with his soothing style of Kirtan, allowed the listener to focus on the meaning of the Shabad while enjoying the musical intricacies. On another note, Bhai Avtar Singh Aajiz was related to ‘Raag Kala Samraat’ Bhai Gurmeet Singh Shant through marriage. If anyone has more information or recordings of Bhai Avtar Singh Aajiz to share, please contact us.
