A new favourite Punjabi singer: B Praak
The first song I heard was Mann Bhareya

It remains a favourite song.
But then, I saw Qismat, the Punjabi movie, and one song, out of the blue, suddenly, brought these words alive:

It is rare to find the voice that brings these words alive. Sukhwinder Singh is one. This is another.
The song is here:

The voice was easy to identify. Unmistakable.
And that, is how I got another favourite Punjabi voice: B Praak
