Wadali brothers to sing for Dutt’s Sarhad Par
- By Neha Sharma January, 8, 2006 from the Asian Age
New Delhi: After reviving the trend of qawwalis in Hindi films and giving hit numbers in films like Pinjar and Dhoop, the legendary Wadali Brothers will next be heard in Sanjay Dutt’s forthcoming film Sarhad Par. The duo were in the capital to perform at the Katha Asia International Utsav.
"Jab tak bika na tha koi puchhta na tha; tune mujhe kharid kar anmol kar diya," is how they define their journey from a hamlet in Amritsar to the present day hall of fame.
"I always wanted to be a wrestler but my father forced me to learn music. He used to sit with a stick during training sessions," said Puranchand Wadali, the elder of the two brothers. After mastering Sufi music, they trained under Durga Das and Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan.
Comparing their compositions to the "so-called Sufi music which seems to be gaining steam," Pyarelal Wadali said, "The singers who claim to excel in Sufi music hardly know anything about it. It’s all superficial."
Further elaborating on Sufism, he added, "Sufi kalaam is actually a prayer sung by fakirs and Sufi saints in praise of the Almighty."
On the trend of remixes, the duo said, "If you call it music than you need to give it a second thought."
