Without detracting one bit from her merit, capability and musico-longevity, I have to admit that I am not a fan of Asha Bhosle in the same manner as I am of Lataji. That said, there are quite a few of Ashaji’s evergreens – some of them lesser known than her racy raunchy numbers – which touch me more or less the same as some of Lataji’s best.

I was in Kohima (Nagaland) during the first week of December last year to see the week long annual Hornbill Festival. The festival showcases the rich tribal traditions and culture of Nagaland including folk dances, music, sports etc. One day of the festival was reserved for the folk dancers and musicians of all the north-eastern states. My main interest was photography during the festival events and also capturing the tribal village life in the real sense by visiting a nearby Naga village. But some of the dances and musical performances became so rhythmic and foot tapping that I was completely engrossed watching them and in the process I missed taking pictures of some of those events. Surely, some of the dance and musical performances would have been a source of inspiration for Bollywood music directors and choreographers. I also observed that the younger generation In Kohima was very much into music. There are many rock music bands in Kohima. Even in a tribal village, it was a common sight to see young boys and girls moving with guitars.

I was not aware of the film MERA SALAAM (1957) until few days back when I came across while searching for some songs on a website. This was a period film produced under the banner of Sushil Pictures and directed by Harbans. Bharat Bhushan and Bina Rai were in the lead roles with Veena, K N Singh, Gope, Durga Khote, Nishi, Cuckoo in supporting roles. The film had some lovely songs which were written by Sheven Rizvi and set to music by Hafeez Khan. Some of the song’s orchestration appear to be somewhat different than what is normally heard in the songs of that period. For example, the song ‘husn kehte hain mujhe’ probably depicting a mushaira competition between Bharat Bhushan and Bina Rai is rendered without the use of any musical instrument. Then, it has a nasheed ( Islamic devotional song) ‘madinewale se mera salam keh dena’ sung by Mohammed Rafi, Bande Hasan and others, the composition of which, in my view comes close to the qawwali style.
