Basics of Music- Part II (Taal)
————————–
In part I, we introduced the concepts of “octave” and “notes” and mentioned that they are known as “saptak” and “swar” respectively in Hindustani classical music. We used these concepts to discuss “Aaroh” and “Avroh”. Ab aage…

The Wonderful Sounds of 1930s – 7
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
If this voice sounds familiar, that is because we have heard him before on this blog. The earlier posted song is also a delightful rendition – “Bhar Bhar Ke Jaam Pilaa De Bahaar Aayi” from the film ‘Miss Frontier Mail’ (1936). The singer is Basheer Ahmed Khan, also known as Basheer Qawwaal. This song today is from a very obscure and almost unheard film from 1937 – ‘His Highness’. As I am browsing the songs from 1930s in my collection, I am finding excellent gems that have been unheard of for decades. Wonderful pieces of music that are excellent compositions of excellent verses. The obscurity can be gauged from the fact that almost no information is available about the film, or the artists that have contributed to create this, and other such obscure and rare gems.

“Aap Se Humko Bichhde Huye, Ek Zamaana Beet Gaya” – a classic from the 1969 film ‘Vishwaas’. Interesting story behind this song. Kalyanji Anandji had composed this song to be sung by Mukesh. On the day of the recording, for some reason, Mukesh could not be present. Kalyanji Anandji, for the sake of utilizing the recording session, decided to record the song anyway, in another voice. The song was supposed to be re-recorded when Mukesh would be available again for recording. Later, when re-recording was being discussed with Mukesh, he happened to listen to the song that was already recorded. So impressed was he with the voice and the rendering of this specific song, he insisted that the song be retained and included in the film as recorded. Thus was launched the singing career of a mechanical engineering graduate, who had come to Bombay initially, not to become a singer.
Wishing Manhar Udhas many happy returns of his birthday (13th May).

This song will take you on a brief three minute journey of delightful music and singing. Unknown and obscure gems such as this one, tell me that Hindi film music is poorer than what should have been; that there are less than 20 songs in Hindi films by this voice, her mainstay being Bangla films and Bangla non-film and religious songs.

Entertaining Sales Pitch Songs – 7
—————————————————–
I remember such sellers from my travels in childhood. It was a time when intercity travel of half a day or less would be a journey by bus, and a longer journey would be by train. Both my maternal and paternal families are spread out over the Punjab and Himachal areas north of Delhi – Chandigarh, Simla, Ludhiana, Jalandhar and Amritsar. All these cities being less than a day’s journey, our travels were generally by the intercity state transport buses. Any other travels, like visiting other metropolitan cities which are all south of Delhi, would generally be by train. During my school years, travel to visit family was quite a regular affair, once or twice a year during vacation breaks. Other travels, to places like Bombay, Calcutta, Madras and Bangalore were less frequent.
