'I am a nomad singing in India and abroad, promoting my mother tongue": says Hans Raj Hans

Hans Raj Hans says "I am doing another song for the movie 'Dillagi' which was earlier titled London so I am singing at least two songs for that movie. Also, if one wants to sing or work in Bombay then you have to stay there. So when they ask about me that where is that particular artist who sang the Kache Dhaage song, as I read in a few newspaper and magazine articles, they say he stays in a village of Jalandhar. Even though I stay in Jalandhar city but for people from Bombay since it is not that commercialised hence it gets ignored. All thanks to Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan that he called me especially to sing as I am a nomad." Hans Raj Hans stands tall among all Sufi singers, with his unusual ability to present this genre of music in its truest form. His voice and style of singing is indeed suited to Sufi renditions. This noted Sufi artist is a Padam Shree Awardee, the highest civilian award, presented by Hon’ble President of India Mrs. Pratibha Patil for his inimitable and significant contribution in the field of music. Hans Raj Hans is most versatile in his singing and this has been time and again proven by his various singing styles not only in Punjabi folk but also in Punjabi movies, classical and Bollywood music. However, due to his immense love for Sufism, he has dedicated his life to Sufism and to let it grow and live in the hearts of people forever. His performances have not only established him as a musical treasure in his own country, India but have gained him worldwide fame. In appreciation of his contribution to Sufiana Singing, San Jose University, California, USA had appointed him as visiting Professor of Sufism. A recipient of numerous honours from the beginning. He was awarded Punjab State Singer Award (Raj Gayak) by the Punjab Government. He has been conferred lifetime fellowship by Punjabi University, Patiala, in recognition of his originality and versatility.
