Legendary folk singer Reshma of Lambi Judai fame passes away:-
India-born singer Reshma, famous for her folk songs and her powerful ringing voice, died in Lahore on Sunday morning, according to media reports. She was suffering from throat cancer and was in a coma for a month.
Reshma often modestly said her voice was a gift from God and she was grateful for all the recognition she got. She sang for the first time at the shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar in Sehwan, Sindh.
She was born around 1947 in Bikaner in Rajasthan in a nomadic Banjara community and her family moved to Karachi after the Partition. She has sung for both Pakistan and Indian film industries and performed in India too.
Her fans will remember her for Dama Dam Mast Kalandar, Wey mein chori chori, Ankhiyan nu rehan de and Lambi Judai.
She was awarded the ‘Sitara-i-Imtiaz’ and ‘Legends of Pakistan’ by the President.
