Dya Singh's impact on the world music stage
has been short of phenominal. He sings about spirituality in
his native Punjabi (with occasional English explanations) and
blends traditional music with modern and contemporary trends.
He has single-handedly taken the traditional Sikh spiritual
music of his ancestral Punjab (frontier province on the border
of present day India and Pakistan, south of Afghanistan) into
the world music stage reaching out from his source indigenous
music to fusion with music from other parts of the world |
