Ramta began his singing career in the 1960s, after which he toured the world

India's beloved Ramta Jogi - legendary singer Hazara Singh Ramta – breathed his last at a hospital in Brampton, Canada on Wednesday due to age-related ailments. Known for his simple and witty lyrics, often stringing along to the tunes of a tumbi, Ramta went on to become a globetrotting musician, putting Punjabi music on the world map. His family would be bringing his remains to the city next week, before immersing the ashes in Kirtapur Saheb Gurudwara in Punjab.
