Hindi movie music was predominanatly based on classical music during the first decade (viz 1930s). It was in early 1940s that Ghulam Haider introduced Punjabi Folk music based songs in “Khazaanchi” (1941). This paradigm shift was avidly lapped up by public and this paved the way for folk music based songs in Hindi movies. Ghulam Haider was followed by Naushad who introdced UP folk music in his compositions. That opened the floodgates and then we had different music directors composing songs based on folk music from different regions.
S D Burman was one of the music directors who began to introduce folk music in his of eastern parts of the songs. He drew inspiration from the folk music of the eastern parts of the country.
It is easy to form an impression that S D Burman only utilised folk music of eastern parts, but that is not true. I am aware of S D Burman compositions that draw inspiration from Punjabi folk tunes, for instance.
Here is an S D Burman composition based on Gujarati folk dance of Dandiya. The song is sung by Asha Bhonsle and chorus. Sahir Ludhianvi is the lyricist. The movie is “Society” (1955).
Only the audio of this song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.
