Sukhvinder Singh Namdhari

This sober yet very romantic raga should be performed late at night. One facet of Indian Classical music and a supreme test of musicianship is the ability to combine melodic features from two ragas to evolve a third. In this recording Kiranpal combines two parent ragas Malkauns and Darbari to create Kaunsi Kanhra with the assurance and virtuosity expected from a master.

It is not very often you listen to a classical artist, who with the blessings of the Guru, have learned from great masters and possesses a voice capable of exploring all 3 octaves, without sacrificing the essence of the raag. Bhai Satnaam Singh Ji, who learned from the Pandit Mani Parshad Ji, with his dedication have achieved a well respected place amongst the classical explorers of gurmat sangeet.  

Prof Tarsem Singh gave an excellent accompaniment on tabla. He learned from world famous Ustad Alla Rakha and Zakir Hussian, and have played in many countries.
