Hajjam
Hajjam, alternately pronounced and spelled as Hajaam or Hajam, are an ethnic group found in North India and Pakistan. In Pakistan, they are settled in Sindh and Punjab provinces. The word Hajaam is derived from the Urdu word Hajaamat which in Urdu means barber and hairdresser. They are also known as the Khalifa and in Uttar Pradesh as the Salamani.
History and origins
Most Hajjams are Muslims. They are considered as an economically backward community in India, concentrated in North India. They are also found in the provinces of Sindh and Punjab in Pakistan.
Their traditional occupation has been that of a barber and hairdresser. The word "Hajaam" is derived from the Urdu word "Hajaam" (barber), itself coming from the Arabic word hijama. Most Hajjams are Sunni Muslims, although there is a small minority, particularly in the Awadh region who are Shia. They claim descent from the Prophet Soloman or Sulaiman, and often call themselves Salmani. Historically, they have been concenterated in the Awadh region, but are found throughout North India and in Sindh and Punjab provinces of Pakistan.

Hey Jimi
by: GotthardEvery night I walk the streets step like my soul.
And I pick up the pieces you left so long ago.
You gave me a face, you gave me your hand.
One night I made love in electric ladyland.
Chorus:
Hey I can start a fire, but I can't keep the flame.
Now I can get much higher. Hey Jimi, where the hell are you?
I'm searching to ride out with my voodoo style.
Foxy lady I keep coming when I kiss the sky.
You gave me stone free, gave me battle haze.
And a little wing strong get so, I need today.
Chorus:
Hey I can start a fire, but I can't keep the flame.
Now I can get much higher. Hey Jimi, where the hell are you?
Yeah you read me from the good old days of rock 'n' roll.
Well you can tell me so it's right here to sing then come and mice it all.
Like then we play strong the beat of my heart.
Now you teach to all how to rock with the black man's soul.
Chorus:
Hey I can start a fire, but I can't keep the flame.
Now I can get much higher. Hey Jimi, hey Jimi,
