Hariom Sharan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hariom Sharan is one of the most brilliant 'Bhajan' singers in Hindu heart land, though he is not known as other Bhajan Singers. He has only one Bhajan album to his name 'Premanjali Pushpanjai'. This album is very popular in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in India.
His bhajans are sung across North India. Even in Kashmir and Jammu valley his bhajans are sung and the local singer may not always know or come across his name. In short he has become a legend in his life time. Rarely there will be days when the AIR Vividh Bharathi does not relay a bhajan of his in the morning programme from 6 to 6.30 AM. He is very respected in West Indies. He has a rare insight to handle normally not heard compositions of Kabir, Kamal, Raidas etc. Those who have heard him in his pristine days can never forget his very melodious voice and the impact it created on them. He does sing with simplicity and understatement and does nothing to exaggerate. His pronunciation and enunciation is crystal clear and his feel is unmistakable. His pronunciation of sanskrit verses is excellent and the phonetics comes out distinctly.
