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.

I had informed AK ji about the program, and he was also able to attend. The program was arranged at the India Islamic Center on Lodhi Road, and the primary sponsor of this program was an NGO by the name Panch Tattwa. Another sponsor is a person who is a good friend of mine.

Sajjad Hussain composed only about 100 songs in his entire career lasting more than three decades. When I went through the list of his songs, I discovered some interesting facts. Though he composed very few songs, he worked with a disproportionally large number of singers and artists in these songs.
