Desert song no. 7, is a Mubarak Begum solo from ‘Baghdad ka jaadu’ (1956). This is the first song from this film to be posted in the blog. Actually I saw at least three songs from this film, including the theme/caravan song by Mohammed Rafi and a delightful duet by Mubarak Begum and Khurshid Bawra. I was able to recognize a single person featuring in those song. Than I got a brainstorm and googled the film. And yes I found all there is to know about it here.
Now I know that it is fearless Nadia and John Cavas sitting and enjoying the song being sung by Shiela Kashmiri. The setting is a nighttime campfire sort of entertainment for the group of thugs led by fearless Nadia, at an oasis which is ‘nakhlistaan’ in urdu.
I liked this song at first hearing, because of its catchy tune and clear tones of Mubarak Begum. It is written by Preetam Dehlvi and the music directoris Shafi Nagri. As per a comment on youtube, it appears that Shafi Nagri was an assistant to Naushad.
