ratti mein jalawa diwa

"sanu ek pal chain naa aawae..."

feels like some one is singing in the train while u are travelling in the summers through the beautiful landscapes of the chambal..beween jhasi and gwalior.....some one singing and begging...remember that huskiness in the voice..the pain and the emotion...well there is somethign close to it..which just makes you go round and round..absorbs youa nd leaves one mesemerized. The guys who has that effect in his voice is called Kailash Kher and the song am talking big about is called "Sanu ek pal" (Though I am not sure its the song which is the catalyst or its my soul which has a very low flash point..but whatver it is..am on fire)

Kailash Kher shot into fame with the "Allah Ke Bande". There is how ever much more than that the guy has.The pious voice is worth of much more. Just got a chance to lay hands on one of his album called "awargi" (courtset pauyaar.com) and the believe me if some one likes the rustic huskiness in the voice of abida parveen or the voice of Nusrat saheb in his last days, this guy has a lot of potential then this voice is a real contender in the league if and thats big if..the guys becomes more consistent.

The song "sanu ek pal" is rendered in the folk sufi style. The guy hails from the lucknow but the voice has that rural touch some one who has lived its life in may be haryana rajasthan or perhaps sindh. Enchanting experience thats what would I say.

But every rose has its thorn. The guy is pretty inconsistent in the album. Sometimes the songs are too dry and you kinda feel the lack of emotions. But neverthless this guy will be someone to watch in near future.

Keep singing dude..we are listening....and for those who prefer to try here is the link

"rati mein jalawa diwa..hanjawa de terada..
hayo rabba sajana nu cheeti kyon nahi bhejda"

Just a quick update there is one more classic from the guy

A new track called Naiharwa in the album Kailasa.

.one more excellent composition,,this one has some eastern UP touch...naiharwa....
Must hear for the lovers of sufi and abida's fan..and believe me it won't dissapoint you.
