Very poor attempt, out of tune not sung with any emotion. It is like reading bani with and English Accent. ....................a glimpse of the future of kirtan.

What is wrong with reading Bani in an English accent?

What do you mean songs were out of tune or were the compositions different from the usually shouting Ragi's?

From your answers on other debates I can see you are a very rude and presumptious individual.

My influeces ranges from Nusserat Fateh Ali Khan to Oasis.............I would say my musical appreciation is pretty well rounded, and I don't need to be lectured by prejudiced people as to whether I appreciate music or not.

Aman ji,

My sincere apologies for the tone of my language in my previous reply.

Perhaps I was abrupt in replying to you thread. I do apologize.

There is a big difference between the music of Nusserat Fateh Ali Khan-Oasis and Mohammed Rafi and Lata Mangeshkar. It is like comparing a spiritual journey from UK - west with one from UK - east. I have an article some time ago where they compared eastern music to western form of music and its effect on plant life. It was concluded that the plant moved away from the source of music whereas it came closer to the Music of the East (Here I am referring to classical music).

Tej Kaur in you link I feel is not doing justice to the emotion expressed in the shabads. Nowadays it is becoming a trend to produce records for fame and money without giving any regard to feelings expressed in the shabads. Vast majority of the singers do not have any musical learning background. I feel if we accept this type of music we will be encouraging to make a mockery of Gurbani and hence our religion.

I totally disagree.

Music is music.....a dear friend of mine who is trained classically....you may have heard of him (Talvin Singh)..........plays eastern and western music. There is no difference.

It is very presumptious to assume this person has done this for money too, considering you know nothing about her?
