R.I.P. Kuldeep Manak (1949-2011)
I awoke to the sad news that Kuldeep Manak Ji had passed away, after battling with a bout of Pneumonia.
At one point or another, even the most casual Punjabi song listener has heard a Kuldeep Manak song, whether it be an original song of his, or a remix. His music inspired and touched the lives of millions over a span of multiple generations.
The Kaliyan Da Badshah may be gone, but his music will live on.
Kuldeep Manak – Heer Doli Beh Gai Kherian Di
Kuldeep Manak – Sahiban Bani Bharavan Di
Kuldeep Manak – Chithiyan
Kuldeep Manak – GT Road
Immortal Bhangra – Kachehari
Twin Beats – Manak Drops the Pressure
Panjabi MC – Sarwan Phuter
Panjabi MC – Yaar Mera Chad Giya
Panjabi MC – Laila
Panjabi MC – Muthiar Tooh
Thoughts and condolences go to Manak Ji’s family and loved ones.
Tigerstyle “Jhoolde Kesri Jhande” Video
Now this is what I call a music video!
Tigerstyle (who else?) salutes the spirit of Sikhism with the release of this video.
“Jhoolde Kesri Jhande” was originally released back in 2006, but now gets the video treatment, as it has been re-released on the album “Singh Soormay – Singh Ninjas.”
With vocals provided by Bhupinder Singh, and sang in the melody of “GT Road” by the great Kuldeep Manak, this is a track full of pride.
Well done brothers.
