Yea bro Meshi and Bittu are related but I don't think they are brothers. My boy Sandeep Jogi (Harjit Harman's Dholi) Is Meshi Nephew and Bittu is his cousin. So I think Bittu Is Meshi Nephew, but all of these dholi's in India from the Jogi Cast well most of them are related some way or another :)

Its wierd how whatever dholi you meet in India, and then you talk about another Ustaad dholi in India to them, they say they are related. Like I went to India and met a Dholi named Jaswinder and we started talkin about Ustaad Kaku and Jolly, and he said that was his chacha and cousin, met Jolly later on and said he doesn't know the guy even when i showed a pic.... hmm...I think its something they all do..

But the top 5 I've gotten a chance to see play live would be, in no particular order except the First are:

Ustaad Lal Singh Bhatti
Raju Singh (Cali)
Jolly Bawa
Rayman B.
Ravi Dana

Its crazy because Ustaad Bhatti, Raju, and Jolly have similar styles(folk), whereas Rayman and Ravi have a simliar classical tabla touch to there style. All are great!!!!
