Spoiler--This week Raja' s songs

On saturday night, when Laloo is expected to adorn the throne, Raja will be humming out one of Rajasthan's best known folk hits - Kesariya Balam Padharo Maro Desh. Now this folk song, considered to one of the purest examples of Rag Maand, has been performed a number of times by various artists including bigwigs like Mehdi Hasan, Lata mangeshkar, Jagjit Singh, Sandeep Chowta to name a few. Even the movie Lekin had an adaptation of the song.

On friday he will be singing Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's Ankhiyaan Nu Chain Na Aave" from his album Janiya Haniya. The song also featured as part of the Bandit Queen soundtrack.

Thanks for the songs and information.
