If you loved the song 'HukusBukus' in the Manoj Bajpayee-starrer 'The Family Man', you certainly love Kashmiri singer Aabha Hanjura's voice. The singer’s melodious voice is hypnotic and her music will make you hum long after you've listened to it on any day. In fact, Hanjura’s music can also be heard in the film, ‘No Father’s in Kashmir’ made by Oscar-nominated director Ashwin Kumar.
The Bengaluru-based folk singer-songwriter shot to fame as the finalist in Indian Idol 3 and has been only getting better at her craft since then. Hanjura has only recently released two singles from her upcoming EP called ‘Sahibo’ and ‘Kale Rang Da Parinda’. While she pays tribute to her homeland in one, the other is an upbeat Punjabi folk song that she has experimented with for this EP along with other songs.
