Ranbir Kumar,a city-based singer and music composer,lives,breathes and sleeps ghazals. Its my soul food, he says. At 28,he has come out with a new albumMitran Da Mood. I was looking for someone to sing. My friend,Mandeep,who penned the lyrics,suggested Meet Malkit. The album,now on the stands,is a mix of folk,sufi and traditional. Kumar,who reveres Jagjit Singh,is working on a ghazal album,Shaam Dhale to be out by 2011.
