---------------
In today's episode, we sit down with Satinder Sartaaj, Singer, Lyricist, Composer & Actor, a PhD holder in Sufi singing, and one of the world's most celebrated Sufi artists, who sold out London's Royal Albert Hall years before most Indian artists had even attempted it.
We talk about what Sufi music actually is, and why it was never meant to be sung perfectly, just felt. He explains why he built his own musical instrument from scratch, his unusual journey from farmer's son to professor to performer, and how one hungry night in a hostel room turned into one of his most loved songs. He also shares his sharpest opinion on Punjabi music today, and why he thinks it's missing an entire side of Punjab nobody talks about.
Honest, unfiltered, and unlike anything you've heard from him before.
