Hari & Sukhmani

Hari & Sukhmani (also styled Hari + Sukhmani) are a Chandigarh folktronic duo of Hari Singh Jaaj and Sukhmani Malik who fuse Punjabi folk and Sufi poetry—Bulleh Shah, Baba Farid, Kabir, Shah Hussain—with electronic production. Wikipedia notes they met in November 2008, formed in 2009, and keep a minimal chill-out folk presentation rather than hardcore bhangra spectacle; Hari produces and engineers (Doon School, St. Xavier’s Mumbai, audio engineering in Chennai, electronic production study in Manchester), while both sing.

Documented credits include folk song work for Deepa Mehta’s Heaven on Earth (Kangi Bawan), Coke Studio–era visibility referenced in press, The Dewarists collaboration Maati with Trilok Gurtu, later collabs such as Yaariyan with Noori (2016) and Baagey with The Coconut Kids (2019).
