Babla & Kanchan

Babla Shah is the younger brother of famous music director duo Kalyanji Anandji.

Babla sang some songs for films and also tried his hand at music direction like his older brothers.

According to film music expert Rajesh Subramanian, the song "Khaike Pan Banaraswala" was composed by Babla.

He made this selection because he had a taste and talent for this type of hybrid music, as also a liking for live performance.

She was a talented singer and her songs are there in the films Rafoo Chakkar, Dharmatma and Qurbani, all of whose music was scored by Kalyanji-Anandji.

She distinguished herself by moving to chutney and chutney-soca, which was sung in Bhojpuri, a dialect of Hindi popular throughout the Indian diaspora of descendants of indentured laborers.

They also revived older hits by other chutney singer such as Sundar Popo from Trinidad and Tobago, Neisha Benjamin, Halima Bissoon and Kassri Narine from Guyana, and Bidjanwatie Chaitoe from Suriname.

Due to their extensive touring support, their LP albums including Kuch Gadbad Hai sold well for an Indian group traveling abroad.
