AS Kang is my favorite singer. I like his terminology. I understand he is follower of world famous and pioneer of Punjabi Loke Geet and inventor of Toombi: “Ustad Yamla Jatt”. I like the way he covey regards to his teacher Yamla Jatt. I wish AS Kang will remember his Ustad Yamla Jatt through out his whole life. May God bless him all the times, and he can serve our Punjabi Boli.
