Puranchand and
Pyare Lal more famously known as Wadali Brothers,
are a legend in
their lifetime. Their canvas is as vast as the ocean.
Born in Guru Ki Wadali, the birthplace of the sixth
Guru of Sikhs, Guru Hargobind Singh Ji, Wadali
brothers are fifth generation of Sufi singers.
Known world over for their mesmerizing performance,
Wadali brothers stepped
into the world of films with Pinjar, adding
divine dimensions to the pain of Partition depicted
in the movie.
What makes Wadali Brothers' music distinct is the “bani of Sufi
saints” like Ghulam Farid, Shah Hussain, Sultan Bahu,
Kabir and Guru Nanak. ``It is in the style of classical
music, but it is more of Bhakti music,'' says Puran
Chand, adding: ``It is music that makes you one with
God. And so, it differs from entertainment or folk music
and certainly cannot be adapted to Bhangra style''.
Over the years, the two have learnt to adapt their music
to suit audience taste. ``There is an advantage of
singing Sufiana Kalam. Though it has a structure and
composition like classical music, it is so vast that one
can branch off in any direction -- singing fast beats
for the younger crowd or slow rhythmic ones for a more
sober audience,'' says Pyare Lal. |
