During a recent trip to Madras (Chennai), I was fortunate to have the opportunity to listen to Bhai Rai Sahib Ji live. The Asa Ki Var recording featured here was made at the Madras Gurdwara on August 30 2004. Bhai Sahib and his Jatha were kind enough to sing several Puraatan compositions in morning Ragas as part of the Asa Ki Var.

Update (11/17/07)

A short while ago, I was contacted by S.Manohar Singh, a kirtan premi from Orgeon, who had recorded seven shabads by Bhai Rai Singh and his jatha during a recent visit. These extremely high quality recordings were generously offered by S. Manohar Singh for hosting on the Gurmat Sangeet Project website.
