This young and talented ‘jatha’ consists of two brothers who hail from the village of Rampura located in Amritsar. Bhai Hardial Singh was born on 2nd January 1991 while his younger brother, Bhai Kirpal Singh was born on 7th May 1992 to Mata Kashmir Kaur Ji. Their father, Bhai Sharanjit Singh Ji is a well known Dhadhi who plays the Sarangi. They were initiated into music by their father at around the age of 5 and have received training in playing the Sarangi as well. Later on, their interest shifted from Dhadhi toward Kirtan and they have been learning Kirtan seriously for the past 12 years. Since 6 to 7 years ago, they came under the guidance of one of the leading exponents of Gurmat Sangeet, Bhai Gurmeet Singh Shant. Currently, they are serving as Hazoori Raagis in Sri Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar. They made their first trip abroad to Malaysia in 2019 and I got the opportunity to meet them and record their Kirtan a few times. Both brothers have a pleasant nature and are very humble. Their performance on stage is one that is full of energy. If anyone has more recordings of Bhai Hardial Singh and Bhai Kirpal Singh to share, please contact us.
The Shabads below were sung at our residence on 1st December 2019 during their trip to Malaysia. This was on the last day of their tour and a few hours before their departure to India. Please ‘right click’ and ‘save link as’ to download audio files. Enjoy!
