MANY ochre afternoons ago, in November 2003, a 27-year-old Sardar sat on a low stool, acoustic guitar on lap, and spoke in grave tones about Raj Singh, an impoverished Punjabi farmer who had committed suicide. When Rabbi Shergill performed Raj Singh at his first performance, the 100-odd listeners in that dim Mumbai auditorium mourned Singh’s death. Rabbi remained an unsung hero.Until he and his now hit single, Bulla Ki Jana, were packaged in a self-titled album and released exactly a year after that five-minute debut. Two months and one music video later, the bespectacled Sikh who neither looks nor talks like a pop star (probably, his biggest USP), has sold 50,000 CDs and 50,000 tapes.
