Wadali Brothers

The Wadali brothers are a legend in their lifetime. Their canvas is as vast as the ocean. But more than anything else, they have provided music lovers rare moments to remember and cherish. The Wadali Brothers sing in the gurbani, kaafi, ghazal and bhajan genres of music. Completely devoted to music, the brothers move on, rendering divine melodies. They have always remained partners in rhyme. They believe in the Sufi tradition deeply. They consider themselves as a medium through which the preaching of great saints has to be passed on to others. They have never indulged commercially and they have only a handful of recording to their name (mostly from live concerts). They believe in singing freely as homage to the divine one. They do not feel very comfortable in using electronic gadgets in their music, and stress on Alaap and Taans. They believe that spiritual heights can only be attained if you sing unreservedly, in a free atmosphere. Recently they stepped into the world of Bollywood music, rendering music director and writer Gulzar’s soulful lyrics in their unique style in the film Pinjar. Also on the cards is a documentary which the Discovery Channel is planning to make on them.
