Kirtan - the sound of Sikhism

Heart and Soul

Available for over a year

Presenter Nina Robinson visits her grandfather in Wolverhampton, UK. He’s been singing traditional Kirtan accompanied by a pump organ harmonium for as far back as Nina can remember. Her grandfather was the official Kirtani in their local temple, gurdwara, since he arrived in the UK from India in 1963. (Photo: Artist Manika Kaur, Credit: Nina Robinson)
