This song just caused my liver to fail, leading to extreme abdominal pain and bleeding

The Story of Mirza & Sahiban. It's like the punjabi version of Romeo & Juliet. I hope to make a collection of remixes for this classic folk tale. 

This song in particular is sung in the 80s by a legendary punjabi artist named Kuldeep Manak. 

Bakki is the name of the horse which Mirza (the Romeo in this case) rides. In this song, Bakki is trying to wake up Mirza, but Mirza can't get up. He's been killed by Sahibans (the Juliet ) brothers.

Heer Ranjha Project: Song One - Mera Dhido Ranjha Beparwah Kudio

          This is the first song from the Heer Ranjha Project I began this year. For context, Heer/Ranjha is like a Romeo/Juliet story originating from Panjab/Pakistan/Northern India. In the story, Ranjha is born into a rich farmer family. He has many older brothers, and Ranjha himself was the youngest. Since he was the youngest, he never did any work out in the fields; his brothers would take care of it. All Ranjha did was play the flute and relax. As he got older, his brothers would ask him to assist them in their farming duties, but Ranjha was carefree and never bothered to help. Eventually, Ranjha’s father passed away and the land he owned was split up between his sons. Ranjha’s brothers gave him the harshest plot of land, one that required a lot of hard work to produce any crops. Since Ranjha had never actually bothered to work before, he found this extremely difficult. His brothers and sister-in-laws kept taunting and shaming Ranjha because he was unable to farm his land properly.

            Eventually Ranjha got fed up and said screw it, I’m leaving this village. He took his flute and a few belongings then set out on an adventure. During his travels, he gained some fame for how well he was able to play the flute. Everyone who heard him became mesmerized. Eventually he ran into Heer, the “Julliet” of this story. She fell in love with him at first sight. She then convinced her father to hire Ranjha as a shepherd. This way both Heer and Ranjha could stay close to one another. Heer would often bring sweets and other food for Ranjha as he worked. Ranjha did great at his job and soon the whole village knew of the handsome Ranjha who plays the flute.

                    This song in particular is where Dev Tharikewala (the writer) decided to start the story. Although this isn’t the first song sung by Manak regarding Heer/Ranjha, this song is the one that contains the earliest part of the story. The song is told in the perspective of Heer; she is explaining to all her friends how amazing Ranjha is

Next song in the Heer Ranjha Story: Maan Karin Na Jattiye

Overall, Manak is singing in perspective of Ranjha. Backstory, Ranjha comes over to meet Heer. While waiting for her, he falls asleep on her bed. 

When she comes and finds him, she starts to taunt him. Ranjha responds by telling her that "your bed isn't as glamorous, and big as your chest is, don't be too prideful.  I got plenty of other gardens". 

Ranjha compares himself to a bird that can fly to any other garden at any time - he's got a lot of options.

Full video with all the translations should be up on YouTube soon!

Shoutout to @ChanMudhaWala on IG for the translations and @PanjabCirca70s on IG for the vinyl rips!

Next song in the Heer Ranjha Story: Chad De Meri Bachiye Ranjhe di Yaari

In this song, Manak is singing in the perspective of Heer's mother. Basically Heer's mother is trying to explain to her daughter that this relationship with Ranjha will never work and that she needs to leave him. She then goes on to explain that people are finding out, and if the wrong people learn of her relationship with Ranjha, they could be in trouble...

It's time for me to give you another mashup, this is the second mashup for 2020 featuring the Roar Sounds of .

#KuldeepManak #RIP
#SurinderShinda .

In this mix I didn't really want to over shadow it with to much urban beats as oldschool music such as Kuldeep Manaks and Surinder Shinda should always have that element of a raw desi folk touch so there for I have used Punjabi instruments as much as I could... still keeping it FOLK, with that original folk touch by using the sounds of .

#Mandolin
#Sarangi
#Tumbi
#Dhol
#Dholki .

but I also wanted to give it the #HJandu touch also otherwise it would not be a remix so you will see 
1 or 2 variation of beats in this mix .

P.S I also know that Punjabi folk music is close to a lot of peoples heart and I do not mean to ruin any classics or originals... my aim is to give it a touch of mine so I can show you what I can bring to the scene and also keep the memory of Kuldeep Manak alive and to remember Surinder Shinda as a living folk legend.
