Daler Mehndi Happy Birthday: Celebrating 15 years of Tunak Tunak Tun

Daler Singh Mehendi was born on August 18, 1967. After learning ragas and shabad from Guru Granth Saheb he was deeply inspired by the Patiyala Gharana, that he ran away from his home at the mere age of eleven in search of Late Ustad Raaahat Ali Khan Sahib for lessons.

With his Indian Classical background, Daler Mehendi started his musical career. His debut album Bolo Ta Ra Ra, Dardi Rab Rab and Balle Balle. Bolo Ta Ra Ra sold over 20 million copies. This very song established him as a pop star. Daler Mehendi also worked for Big B’s movie Mrityunda for the song Na Na Na Re which was also an instant hit!

Daler is credited for creating a new genre of music called Rabbabi which is a fusion of Sufi, Thumri and Rock. One of the most special track that he came up was Tunak Tunak Tun. The song is still a hit for his fans. People can’t stop dancing when the song is played in weddings and everyone demands to hit replay!
