The first program that we attended was in Queens, NY on June 9th, where they performed so many amazing compositions in the old format of Gurmat Sangeet. We were blown away at thier high level of skill in Sangeet and how they performed such complex compositions with ease. The blend of the Tanti Saaj (traditional stringed instruments) with the Keertan was nothing but brilliant, creating a powerful mood of every Raag that they performed. Dr. Gurnam Singh Jee and Jatha are true masters in thier respective Saaj (Taus, Rabab, Tabla), proving to the world that Gurmat Sangeet still lives on in the original format since Guru’s times.

Details:
Raagis: Dr. Gurnam Singh Jee, Bhai Raghbir Singh Jee (Tabla), Bhai Manpreet Singh Jee (Rabab), Bhai Amandeep Singh Jee (Taus). Punjabi University, Patiala, India.

Location: Gurdwara Sant Sagar Gurdwara, Queens, New York

Date: Saturday Evening, June 9th, 2007

[Note: Since we were running out of space on our digital cameras, the last few videos were lower quality, but it is still there in its entirety.]
