Belonging to the lineage of the Tarn Taran rababis, Bhai Chhaila was born in Tarn Taran on 13th December 1895. However, he was usually known as Bhai Chhaila Patiale Wala as he spent a fair amount of time in Patiala. Although he had released some shabads and dharmik geets, he was better known among the masses for his songs and ghazals. A testament to Bhai Chhaila’s popularity was that he had a great influence on a young boy, Mohd. Rafi who went on to become a legend in his own right. Besides being an accomplished singer, Bhai Chhaila also played the rabab and he kept it with him at all times. Following partition, he moved to Peshawar and played the rabab at Radio Pakistan for some years before settling in Lahore, where he passed away on 10th July 1983. His son, Javed resides in Lahore and is a music composer with Radio Pakistan Lahore. The information above was translated from the book ‘Punjab De Parsidh Raagi Rababi’ by Balbir Singh Kawal.
