Gian Singh and Thakur Singh Almast

Bhai Sahib was the younger brother of the noted Bhai Dharam Singh Zakhmi Ji. Both used to sing together as a Jatha for several decades. Following Bhai Dharam Singh’s passing away in the late 70′s/early 80′s, Bhai Shamsher Singh formed a new Jatha and continued singing their family’s reets.
