ਡਖਣੇ ਮਃ ੫ ॥
Dakhanay, Fifth Mehla:

ਜੇ ਤੂ ਮਿਤ੍ਰੁ ਅਸਾਡੜਾ ਹਿਕ ਭੋਰੀ ਨਾ ਵੇਛੋੜਿ ॥
ਜੇ ਤੂੰ ਮੇਰਾ ਮਿਤ੍ਰ ਹੈਂ, ਤਾਂ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਰਤਾ ਭਰ ਭੀ (ਆਪਣੇ ਨਾਲੋਂ) ਨਾਹ ਵਿਛੋੜ ।
If You are my friend, then don't separate Yourself from me, even for an instant.

ਜੀਉ ਮਹਿੰਜਾ ਤਉ ਮੋਹਿਆ ਕਦਿ ਪਸੀ ਜਾਨੀ ਤੋਹਿ ॥੧॥
ਮੇਰੀ ਜਿੰਦ ਤੂੰ (ਆਪਣੇ ਪਿਆਰ ਵਿਚ) ਮੋਹ ਲਈ ਹੈ (ਹੁਣ ਹਰ ਵੇਲੇ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਤਾਂਘ ਰਹਿੰਦੀ ਹੈ ਕਿ) ਹੇ ਪਿਆਰੇ! ਮੈਂ ਕਦੋਂ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਵੇਖਾਂ ।੧।
My soul is fascinated and enticed by You; when will I see You, O my Love? ||1||

Hik Bhori Na Vichor (Puratan Reet, Raag Bhairavi) - Bhai Avtar Singh Ji Bhai Kultar Singh Ji

Har Ju - Bhai Parminder Singh Jalandhar

On July 09, 1999, Bhai Avtar Singh Ragi, my younger granduncle, was requested to sing at the funeral (Bhog) ceremony of the legendary Sikh scholar, Giani Jagir Singh. This is the first composition sung by Bhai Avtar Singh in which I played the Pakhāwaj of my student Rabbi Shergill to honour his late Sikh-scholar dad. Bhai Sahib Swaran Singh, a nephew of Bhai Avtar Singh, and with whole he played Jori & Tabla since early 1950s is on the Jori-Tabla. For a few years, after I had revived the instrument Jori in Gurbani Sangeet in its original playing technique and making, Bhai Swaran Singh and I would play with Bhai Sahib Bhai Avtar Singh on major occasions. 
A lay listener can easily distinguish, my playing on Pakhāwaj from 4:44 minutes marker onwards, from a very busy and distinct rendition along with the composition.
Bhai Avtar Singh's Mangalācharan-Alāpa and extraordinary rendition of this original composition of Guru Nanak Dev is worthy of note —a great example of the once rich Gurbani Sangeet tradition of the Darbār Sahib, Amritsar.

Rāga Gauri Bairagan Dhurpad By Bhai Avtar Singh With Bhai Baldeep Singh On Pakhāwaj

May 5, 1991, Dr. Sudarshan Singh was at the residence of his dear late daughter Professor Amardeep Kaur (d. 2016) and was reminiscing about the legendary Bhai Sahib Bhai Jwala Singh. He recalled one composition that he had studied directly from him saying that he used to sing this Gurbāni Dhurpadā on a very slow tempo Teel Tāla (Punjabi Thekkā). At my request, he recorded this very rare Rāga Dhanāsri (Rāga Gujri Añg) for me. I tried playing the Tabla with him in this recording.
Sardar Shukar Singh, father of Dr. Sudarshan Singh, was a close associate of Bhai Jwala Singh. Dr Sudarshan Singh was also a student of Sant-Rein Warayam Singh, who in turn was a student of Giani Gyan Singh Almast. Even at this elderly age, one can see his classical training by way of very high quality vocal ornaments such as Meend and Lehak.

From The Anād Foundation Archives, TAFaRC, I am sharing this old recording of one of India's finest vocalists of the 20th century, Sardar Sohan Singh. He was a doyen of the illustrious Agra Gharana having studied from the legendary Ustad Faiyaz Khan. 

TAFaRC shares this first of three compositions in the 20th century version of Rāga Tukhari, which is basically Rāga Madhuvanti with an additional Flat 6th, or Komal Nikhad. The Gurbani Pada is "Mere Lāl Rangile".

Sadly, there has been no mention of this legendary singer on social medias nor his recordings available. Even though not much has survived of his music, I hope this will help introduce the aesthetical brilliance of this extraordinary maestro to the audiences present and future.

02 - Sajan Tere Charan Ki, Raag Darbari (Bibi Harbir Kaur Ji)

Bhai Samund Singh Rāgī, one of the greatest kīrtanīs of the twentieth century. He performed as a hazūrī rāgī at Sri Nankana Sahib, the auspicious birthplace of Dhan Sri Guru Nanak Dev Sahib ji, up until partition after which he settled in East Punjab.

Aavoh Sajna Haoon Dekha Darshan Teraa Ram - Bhai Ghulam Muhammad Chand Rababi

I sang this at KTS Tulsi's and Suman Tulsi's residence on Sunday, February 7, 2021, and their daughter Japna recorded this on her phone from at least 10 feet away. There were no microphones. There is some hustling noise at 2-3 places so some discretion is solicited.

Besides, this was sung wearing an N95 mask — so, this is a #Covid19 Special!
