The conversation happened on the way to the hospital
Ashutosh Sharma told that he had talked to Mange Khan on the way to the hospital and the singer told him, ‘Health is good, meet me after the operation.’ Sharma told that he met Khan in the year 2010. Both of them met in a village in Rajasthan. This is where their friendship started. Actually, Sharma had come to record Rukma Bai’s song. Khan was his neighbor and accompanied him on harmonium. After completing the recording of Rukma Bai’s songs, Khan also expressed his desire to record her songs.
This is how the demand started
Ashutosh Sharma said, ‘We were overwhelmed by his voice and singing style. That evening we recorded our first two songs with Mange, ‘Challa Challa’ and ‘Peer Jalani’, which were recreated by Coke Studio.’ Barmer Boys started with a performance at Siri Fort in Delhi in 2011. Since then, both have been working together continuously.
