A Track That Revives Sidhu Moosewala’s Unmatched Musical Aura
Sidhu Moosewala, whose real name was Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, was known for his powerful vocals, honest storytelling, and unapologetic persona. Barota stays true to his essence — blending lyrical depth, nostalgia, and raw emotion. The late singer not only performed the vocals but also penned the lyrics and composed the music, making the release even more meaningful for fans who have long awaited fresh content from the star.
The music video featuring Sweetaj Brar adds a cinematic layer to the track, portraying the emotions Moosewala so brilliantly conveyed through his art. Fans across social media described the release as “goosebumps-inducing” and “a moment of healing.”
The Painful Memory of a Tragic Loss
Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead on May 29, 2022, in Jawaharke village of Mansa, Punjab. The assassination shocked not just India but music lovers around the world. He was only 28. Gangster Goldy Brar had publicly claimed responsibility for the killing, making it one of the most widely discussed crime cases in recent times.
Earlier this year, the BBC World Service released a two-part documentary titled “The Killing Call,” which shed light on the circumstances surrounding Sidhu’s murder. Goldy Brar, in the documentary, alleged that Moosewala supported their rivals politically and used his influence against the gang. He claimed the murder was an act of revenge for the killing of Youth Akali Dal leader Vicky Middukhera.
