Surjit Bindrakhia ne ‘Kal Tak Nahi Rehna' deathbed te likhwaaya si?

Legendary Punjabi lyricist Shamsher Sandhu, the man behind iconic hits with Surjit Bindrakhia like Yaar Bolda, Jatt Di Pasand and Jugni, joins me on Oversharing with The Jhumroo. From writing the evergreen Majhe Diye Mombattiye in 1992 to seeing it go viral again with Diljit Dosanjh’s latest version, Sandhu Saab takes us through an incredible journey of Punjabi music. In this conversation, we talk about his bond with Surjit Bindrakhia, the process of writing and producing songs in the 90s, how budgets and shoots worked back then, his take on the new-age Punjabi singers and lyricists, the debate around gun culture in songs, and why Bindrakhia’s songs are still relevant decades later. This podcast is a nostalgic ride into the golden era of Punjabi folk-pop and the timeless voices that shaped it.
