Mehfil E Sartaaj - Satinder Sartaj's Sai

In just a few short months, Satinder Sartaj has come out of nowhere and made a huge impact on the Punjabi music scene in Canada. His modern take on Sufi music and his unique appearance (he wears a turban but leaves his hair open underneath) has garnered him a lot of attention. Starting out with just a few shows in high-school auditoriums, he's now selling out concerts across the country. He has yet to release a professional recording, but you'll find lots of videos from his shows online.

I've attached a song here that I've had stuck in my head for days. Its call Sai, and its a benti or supplication to the Creator. Its a very flowing song, which sounds almost like a stream of consciousness. Interestingly enough, in an interview on Des Pardes, he confessed that he sang this song before he wrote it, meaning it just spilled out of him while he was playing like it.
