One of their nephews, Satninder Singh Bodal is also taking the family name to great heights. Currently, their younger brother Bhai Davinder Singh Ji is contuining this tradition. Bhai Dilbagh Singh Ji passed away in 2004 and the last I heard Bhai Gulbagh Singh Ji had stopped performing Kirtan due to health reasons as well. They have also traveled to many countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, UK, USA and more. This was the year the brothers took ‘Amrit’ before going on to sing a Shabad in Raag Basant during the Kirtan Darbar. In 1975, there was a Kirtan Darbar in Anandpur Sahib in conjunction with Hola Mahala. Soon after, word of their talent spread all over India and abroad.
The first time they appeared on stage to perform Kirtan was in 1974 in Manjhi Sahib, Amritsar where they mesmerized everyone with their performance. They also went on to learn from a very well known harmonium player in Punjab, Pandit Babu Ram from Dasuha. The brothers were initiated into music from a young age and received their training from home.
Their father Bhai Gaho Vaang was a master in tabla while their maternal grandfather, Bhai Nand was a very well known singer who belonged to the Patiala Gharana of music. Since then, this family has produced some of the finest Raagis. Bhai Dilbagh Singh & Gulbagh Singh belong to the Rababi family of Bhai Choohad who was blessed by Guru Har Gobind Sahib Ji when Guru Ji visited the village of Bodalan.
