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:

The Nightingale sings
with full-throated pain.

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

Here are some more by the same guy:
