Kerala Guy Wows With Mohammed Rafi-Like Voice, Singing His Classics [Videos]

A man from Kerala has become the latest viral sensation in the world of music for his vocal resemblance with the late music legend – Mohammed Rafi.

Rafi – who can easily be put in the bracket of the top 5 Indian singers of all time, has long been revered for his soulful vocals and his ability to sing a vast range of melodies during the golden era of Indian film and music.

Now, 23 year old Saurav Kishen from Kerala, has caught the attention of Indian music lovers, as his several covers of timeless classics from Rafi have given him his new pet name – ‘Chhota Rafi.’

Saurav’s melodious take on Rafi’s tunes from the 50’s and 60’s went so viral, that it even caught the attention of Anand Mahindra, who was apparently smitten upon hearing the budding singer’s voice:



‘We have been waiting for decades for a new Mohammed Rafi. It sounds as if we may have to wait no longer… I couldn’t switch this clip off…’. Mahindra wrote on his Twitter handle.
