The Wadali Brothers (Puranchand Wadali and Pyarelal Wadali) were a Sufi sin… Read Full Bio ↴The Wadali Brothers (Puranchand Wadali and Pyarelal Wadali) were a Sufi singing duo from Guru Ki Wadali in the Amritsar District in Punjab, India.
Born into the fifth generation of musicians given to singing the messages of Sufi saints, the Wadali brothers dabbled in the most unexpected of professions before they became Sufi singers. While Puranchand Wadali, the elder brother, was a regular in an akhara (wrestling ring) for 25 years, Pyarelal (died in 2018) contributed to the meager family income by playing the role of Krishna in the village Raasleela (classical Indian dance).
Their father, Thakur Das Wadali, compelled Puranchand to learn music. Puranchand studied music from celebrated masters like Pandit Durga Das and Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan of the Patiala Gharana. Pyarelal was trained by his elder brother, who he considered his guru and mentor up till his death.
Their first musical performance outside their village was in Harballabh Temple in Jalandhar. In 1975, the duo went to Jalandhar to perform at the Harballabh Sangeet Sammelan but was not allowed to sing because their appearance did not pass muster. Disappointed, they decided to make a musical offering at the Harballabh temple, where an executive of All India Radio, Jalandhar, spotted them and recorded their first song.
The Wadali Brothers sing in the gurbani, kafi, ghazal and bhajan genres of music. They live in their ancestral house in Guru Ki Wadali, and teach music to those who promise to preserve it. They do not charge their disciples, and lead a very simple life devoted to the divine one.
They believe in the Sufi tradition deeply. They consider themselves as a medium through which the preaching of great saints is passed on to others. They have never indulged commercially, and they have only a handful of recordings 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 Alap and Taans. They believe that spiritual heights can only be attained if you sing unreservedly, in a free atmosphere.
In 2003, they entered Bollywood, rendering music director and writer Gulzar’s soulful lyrics in their unique style in the film Pinjar. They also sang one song in Dhoop. On the cards is a documentary which the Discovery Channel is planning to make on them.
Pyarelal died on 9 March, 2018 after a cardiac arrest.

The song Damadam Mast Qalandar by Wadali Brothers is a Sufi Qawwali that is believed to be sung in praise of the Sufi saint Lal Shahbaz Qalandar. The song begins with the singer calling out to the Baba or the Sufi saint by singing "Tera naam sunkar Baba aaya hun" which translates to "Upon hearing your name, Baba, I have come from afar." The singer then goes on to ask the Baba to fill his jholi or his lap with his light and bless him.
The song also talks about the spirituality and power associated with the place where the Baba resides, with the lyrics "Jahaan zikhr-e-Habib hota hai, Khuda unke karib hota hai" meaning "Where the Remembrance of the Beloved is done, God is present there." The song also includes a story about a woman who was unable to conceive and how she was blessed with a child after visiting the Baba's shrine.
The song is known for its catchy tune and infectious chorus that has made it a staple in Sufi music. The song has been covered and adapted by various artists, including Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Abida Parveen, and Runa Laila, among others.

jholi meri ko bhari de babaa apne hi nur se
Fill my begging bowl with your divine light, baba.
jahan zikre habib hota hai khuda unke karib hota hai
Where the name of the beloved is mentioned, God himself is near.
teri chonkhat se maange ne waala kaun keheta hai ki garib hota hai
Who says that one becomes poor by asking at the doorstep of God?
laal meri pat rakhio bala jhoole laalan
Red-robed one, hold my head and swing me, beloved.
Sindri da sehvan da sakhi shabaaz kalandar, Dama dam mast kalandar
The friend of Sindri and Sehwan, the noble Shabaaz Kalandar, is the master of the chant.
sa ni re ga sa sa, sa ni re ga sa sa, sa ni re ga sa ga reeeee shaam
The evening falls, and the sound of the chant fills the air.
din hi kaafi hai teri yaad main jal jaane ke liye
In memory of you, a single day is enough to burn me alive.
maavaan nu pira bacchhede deve
God blesses a mother with a child through a saint's prayers.
naan baje ghan yaal bhalaa jhoole laalan
The drum sounds, the cymbals ring, and the beloved swings on the swing.
shaahi na jagni tohhe ang lagaaya mushkil ko shaahi waala rang lagaaya
Even in difficult times, God's grace is upon you, giving you the royal color.
maula ali ebni ali ye toh khuda ka sheeeraa hai
Ali, son of Ali, is the lion of God.
beda paar lagaa jhoole laalan
Let us cross the ocean holding the hand of the beloved on the swing.
ali dam dam de andar, alidah phela number damodam mast kalandar
Ali is always present within, the first in line, and the master of the chant.
