Anubahv ji,
Thanks a lot, you have started a very good topic, Gopal Babu Goswami is like Mohd. Rafi of Uttarakhandi Songs. He sung most of his songs in Kumauni, but his Garhwali Songs are popular as well. His album "Rami Baurani" is a live example of his music talent. A Singer like Goswami ji never born again and again, it is our responsibility that we should respect his contribution to the society.
Though I have heard him performing live when I was a kid and not mature enough to know about him. But later I have seen him many times roaming near Bhowali Chauraha as a common man. He was really very simple in his living and away from the show say baji of our present artists.
Here I want to mention about Charu Semwal who not even started her career, but in her interview in Rishikesh, she declared her as a symbol of Uttarakhand. In her interview she told that because of her entry into the final round people of the country came to know about the Uttarakhand State.
Though I am not a fan of pahdi songs or singers but I always honour the personalities whom contributed to our society and it is our responsibility to we should remember the contribution of personalities like Goswami ji and also pass it to our coming generation.
Thanks for remembering a legent.
