One of my friends Hargobind Hari Singh (Aka: Hargo) just came out with a cool music video. It’s always great seeing Sikh youth maintain their identity as a Sikh and infusing a spiritual message into their music. I loved the fusion of guitar, tabla…and the dhol beats at the end of the video. Nice Jacket too, with the words on the back: "Only God Can Judge Me".
Hargo is emerging as one of America’s newest rock sensations. Domine is one of Hargo’s feature songs.
Normally we see Sikh musicians doing Bhangra/pop style music, classical, or Gurbani Kirtan, but rarely do we see a Rock music as one of the musical styles. One of my friends, Hargobind Hari Singh started a Rock band called "Hargo" and he has been producing some awesome music. I have to admit, I don’t normally listen to Rock music, but the emotion, lyrics, vocals and tunes are really good and I highly recommend his new CD!
I love seeing other Sikh youth who are driven and creative, aim towards their dreams (all while staying a Sikh). One doesn’t have to sacrifice their identity as a Sikh to achieve their goals in life. Be sure to visit the "Hargo" website and click on the "Media Room" option to hear some of his music. You can hear his whole CD online. Below is an article about him and his band from SikhChic.com.
"It’s not an everyday occurrence when a father pulls his son out of college and tells him to start a band, but that’s exactly the case with Hargobind Hari Singh - popularly known as Hargo for short - a musical fixture around San Diego, California.
Hargo, whose sound is described as a cross between Coldplay and his musical hero John Lennon, was pursuing a degree in psychology when his father gave him some advice that a student rarely hears.
