Two records held together: Punjabi University, Patiala's own Gurmat Sangeet Chair department page, listing "Shabad Kirtan : Rababi Bhai Ghulam Mohammad Chand" by title under its Major Audio-Visual Publications, released, in the page's own words, "for the world wide promotion" of Gurmat Sangeet, Sikh sacred music; and Dawn newspaper's 2015 obituary of Bhai Ghulam Muhammad Chand (1927 to 29 April 2015), confirming his rababi lineage back to Bhai Sadha and Bhai Madha, rababis in the courts of Guru Tegh Bahadur and Guru Gobind Singh, his father and uncle as the last rababis to perform at the Golden Temple before the family's 1947 migration to Lahore, and his own 2005 Bhai Mardana Award from Punjabi University, Patiala and 2011 Golden Temple Life Achievement Award in the United Kingdom.
