James Babulal and Babooram doing a Thumri in 1970s Nickerie (Guyanese Taan)

FYI - Mohit and Dasrat were chelas (disciples) of Ustads Ball Gangadhar Tilak, Baal Nain, Balgobin (Balu) and James Babulall and subsequently sang their gurus songs given to them over the years. This is Aja/Ustad James Babulall NOT Mohit Mangru. There are differences in thier respective voices. Mohit immitates Ustads Tilak and James. Dasrat immitates Ustads Baal Nain and Balgobin. This information was shared with by both Dasrat and Mohit in 1994 in the presence of Ustad Ramdhani at his home in Georgetown. FYI - the clarinet in this picture was Ustad Tilak's which was gifted to Mohit upon his death in 1964. And is currently in my position. Alexia, Kevin, and Droopad are correct.

Prachtige upload ...Ik had van een Oom (thans wijlen) begrepen dat deze zangers vaak naar Nickerie kwamen om op te treden . Dat je Live recordings hebt kunnen bemachtigen is geweldig. De generatie die deze zangers hebben gekend leeft nog..dus voor hun Nostalgie.

Sorry, but this singer is not James Babulal . This is my legendary countryman Mohit Mangru from Bath Settlement and brother of the great Dashrat Mangru .From Speedy Ramoutar .

Harinarain Ramoutar thanks for your reply sir. This is James Babulal. I know he and Mohit sound alike, but I also have recordings of Mohit from the same performance. There is a slight difference. Greetings from Holland!

Greetings from Florida.Let the viewers decide . It’s possible that you made a mistake. From childhood,I have listened to Uncle Maga sing this song over and over.
