Bhai Gursharan Singh Ji Zakhmi - Raag Madhuvanti

We are absolutely delighted to post this extra special clip, since there are hardly any recordings currently available of this virtuistic Maestro. Bhai Sahib was the younger brother of the famous Bhai Dharam Singh & Bhai Shamsher Singh ji Zakhmi. He played the most amazing tabla, the likes of which was unrivalled. In order to do justice to Guru Maharaj's Shabad Kirtan, the Tabla is a vital component. Therefore, the Tabla Player or 'Tablaji' would ultimately require the prerequisite of having an intricate knowledge of Kirtan. Not only did Gursharan Singh Ji posses this knowledge, he was an expert Kirtania or Singer in his own right. In this recording, Bhai Sahib is accompanied by his young son, Bhai Jaspal Singh Ji (now in the USA). Manohar Singh narrates that at the time of the recording Jaspal Singh Ji was still a young lad, in his teens and on the tabla was Bhai Sahib Hariqbal Singh, son of Bhai Dharam Singh Ji Zakhmi. The event was a Rein Subhaaee or all-night Kirtan Durbar at Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Southall, London in the early 1970s. The rendition was the Shabad, Sevak Ki Ardas. The Maestro's vocal range was magnificent and easily spanned more than three octaves, as demonstrated in the Vilambit Mangla Charan before the Shabad. This is complimented by his beautiful rendition of Raag Madhuvanti to express the Shabad. Madhuvanti is an interesting Raag, in that it falls outside of the usual ten Taaths of Bhattkhande. It belongs to the Taath known as Bakala Bharam. We hope you enjoy this recording.
