Bhai
Gurmeet Singh 'Shant'
New recordings added
3/29/05; live in Boston
Bhai Gurmeet Singh Shant
and his Jatha at the Milford Gurdwara on Sunday, March 27, 2005
( l - r Bhai Manjit Singh, Bhai Gurmeet Singh Shant, Bhai Manjit
Singh)
Bhai Gurmeet Singh Shant,
who hails from Jalandhar is undoubtedly one of the leading young Ragis
in the world of Gurmat Sangeet. Bhai Gurmeet Singh belongs to a long line
of Ragis, who trace their musical roots all the way back to the times
of the Gurus. Bhai Gurmeet Singh is an extremely hard working Ragi, who
spends a tremendous amount of time in disciplined riyaz (practice). The
resulting tayyari (musical adeptness) is a joy to behold. Bhai Gurmeet
Singh is particularly adept at singing compositions from the Dasam Granth
including Raag Malas, Taranas and Guldastas. He is a regular guest at
leading Kirtan Samagams in India. The recordings featured on the Gurmat
Sangeet Project were made in New Jersey in the summer of 1997. Some of
the highlights include some beautiful compositions in various variants
of Raga Malhar.
On December 3 & December
4, 2004, Bhai Gurmeet Singh Shant and his jatha visited
the Boston area to participate in two kirtan programs. These new
recordins are from these two programs. If anything, Bhai Gurmeet Singh
has matured in his Gayki over the past 4-5 years. He
is an extremely diligent and creative Ragi, constantly expanding his repertoire
by learning new compositions and
coming up with new ones of increasing musical and rhythmic complexity
!
The Gurmat Sangeet Project is delighted to present these
new recordings by Bhai Gurmeet Singh Shant.
