Munda Southhall
da is now a Chaiyya Chaiyya man
More famous as Chaiyya Chaiyya man, Sukhwinder Singh, is now the most expensive and appreciated singer in Bollywood. Sukhwinder got training from Balwantrai Jaswal. A well-known singer in Punjab guided him but most of his learning has occurred by listening music. His first stage performance was at the age of 8 when he sang the Lata Mangeshkar’s song Sa ….ga re mere sang mere saajna. Everybody appreciated his first effort in Aaja Sanam. Then there was no looking back. He performed with many music composers after that. His list of hit songs include Chaiyya Chaiyya (Dil se), Jise tu na mila (Refugee), Pagdi sambhal jatta, Dil se niklegi, Kasam tumko wattan (all from The Legend of Bhagat Singh), Aaja sanam (Khilaaf), Dholna (Thakshak), Ghanan Ghanan (Lagaan), Mujhe choo le, Kambakht ishq, Rut Aa Gaye Re (1947 – Earth), Ishq Bina (Taal) etc. Dil Se
was his second major hit. The music was given by A R. Rahman. At that
time Rahman was looking for something new so he used Sukhwinder’s
voice for making the unforgettable Chaiyya chaiyya. Sukhwinder was in
London from where he released a Punjabi album called Munda Southhall
Da with T– Series and came to collect an award and decided to stay
back. He joined Laxmikant Pyarelal’s troupe and quickly became a music
arranger. Then as with Hindi film actors, he went looking for work to
South India and did a film, Rakshagan. www.punjabcentral.com/music/pop/sukhwinder/index.asp It is a site about Punjabi singers, pop songs, movies, ghazals and song videos.
