We all have that one Raagi whom we connect to the most and for me that would be Bhai Kishanpal Singh Ji. Maybe it is due to the fact that he stayed in our house for 3 months during his tour to Malaysia in 2000. Nevertheless, he was definitely one of the most talented Raagis of his time who went away too soon. Bhai Kishanpal Singh Ji was born on 13th April 1958. He was the youngest son of Bhai Jaswant Singh of Jasa-Pala fame. The oldest of his brothers was Bhai Prithipal Singh, followed by Bhai Jasbir Singh and Bhai Mahinderpal Singh ‘Ladoo’. Born into the Rababi tradition of Kirtan, Bhai Kishanpal Ji started learning from a very young age. He was initially trained in tabla by his maternal uncle, Bhai Mohinder Singh (Hazoor Sahib) and he used to accompany Bhai Pal Singh, Bhai Prithpal Singh and Bhai Mohanpal Singh on stage. Simultaneously, he also picked up the trademark family style of singing which was strongly influenced by the Patiala Gharana.<\/p>\n
He used to practice up to 12 hours a day and I was told by someone about how he once performed Kirtan for 17 hours at a stretch in the last few years of his life. This took place during a Samagam at Nanaksar organised by Sant Ram Singh Ji. Sant Ji invited Bhai Kishanpal Singh Ji to perform Kirtan and he started at 7 p.m. after Rehras Sahib. Sant Ram Singh Ji and the entire Sangat were so mesmerised that they did not move and neither did Bhai Kishanpal Ji. He continued to perform Kirtan the entire night and in the morning he performed Asa Ki Vaar and continued up till noon. I for one have witnessed Bhai Kishanpal Singh Ji perform Kirtan for more than 5 hours at my residence. Unfortunately, I did not record that program as I was not into recording at that time. By the time I realised that it is important to preserve the recordings of such great Raagis, it was too late. Sadly, Bhai Kishanpal Ji passed away on 23rd March 2007 at the age of 49 due to complications of diabetes. Thankfully, we still have some recordings of his to enjoy and remember him by. If anyone has more recordings of Bhai Kishanpal Singh Ji to share, please contact us.<\/p>\n
