THE JOY OF NFS (Song No. 2)
——————————–
When films started ‘ Talking’, the industry needed actresses who could look good and sing well. Already hard pressed to get girls from educated respectable families, the producers turned to professional singers (Tawayafs) or the Courtesans. These girls knew Hindi/Urdu well, were trained in singing and were experts in handling people. They could and actually did replace the Anglo Indian girls, who had been in the industry since the Silent era, but who found it difficult to talk or sing in Hindi/Urdu. There were some enterprising Anglo Indian girls like Sabita Devi or Irina Gasper, who learnt speaking Hindi and singing just to continue their careers successfully. Later on she made a Hit pair with Motilal in many films, starting with Shehar ka jaadu-1934.

THE JOY OF NFS (Song No. 1)
——————————–
MUSIC is an integral part of every Indian. From birth to death, we are drenched in music. During Vedic times, the Rishis used to teach their students verses in Taal and Sur, so that the students would remember them easily. You will have observed that whenever there is a Mahapooja or an Yadnya, the Purohits will recite the Mantras in a typical rhythm and sur.

For an average music lover in India, music means film music. The fact that there is a vast body of non film music as well is missed out by most. The non film music has its own audience, though sadly this niche audience is far smaller in number. Established fim movie singers have sung a few non fim songs. On the other end of the spectrum, there were singers who were primarily non film singers and who occasionally sang a few movie songs as well.

hamri atariya pe aajaa re saanwariya dekha dekhi tanik hoi jaaye
This is the mukhda of the song from the film ‘Dedh Ishqiyaa’ (2014) which I partly heard for the first time during the promotion of the film on various TV channels in December 2013. I was very happy that in the era of Hindi film music where loud songs with high velocity instrumentation and the meaningless lyrics are the order of the day, this semi-classical song had also found a place in the scheme of things of the modern day movie makers.

This article is the 9500th song post in the blog.
OK, so it is 9500 today. Goodness, the Doppler effect that I discussed, oh just three short weeks ago, seems to be working just as told. The actual pace of posting songs is fairly normal and consistent. And yet, it seems we are speeding up, and will be reaching the magic number, faster than we thought we would get there.

Today, February 8th 2014 is the 73rd birth anniversary of Jagjit Singh ( 08/02/1941 – 10/10/2011) who is regarded as a catalyst in reviving ghazals as a form of singing not only in India but across the world. He transformed ghazal singing into an easier and acceptable form to suit the taste of masses. And what a coincidence! When Malika e ghazal, Begum Akhtar passed away in October 1974, Jagjit Singh was on the way up of becoming a popular ghazal singer when his first LP disc ‘The Unforgettable’ (1976) became commercially successful. So there was a sort of change of guard and handing over the baton of sorts in that Jagjit Singh took over the mantle of ghazal singing after the demise of Begum Akhtar.

After quite a long time, I am concluding the series ‘Songs from the album Varsha Ritu’ with a piloo thmri by Padmabhushan Begum Akhtar. I am not going to post Mahendra Kapur’s song from that alum due to my personal prejudice. (At my age of 82 years, I have full rights to have some prejudices. !!!)

I was introduced to English pop songs sometime in 1988-89 by none other than my son. He would play those pop songs recorded on a couple of audio tapes and I would be compelled to listen to them. Soon I started liking many of those pop songs. By 1991, T V channels like MTV had started telecasting the videos of some of those pop songs. Watching the pop songs with videos was a new experience for me. Even after two decades, I still recall a few of those pop songs which I used to like – Stevie Wonder’s ‘I just called to say I love you’, Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat it’, George Michael’s ‘ Last Christmas’, Eric Clapton’s ‘Tears in heaven’, Paul McCartney’s ‘Hope of deliverance’ etc.

Remembering Rafi Sb today, on his anniversary of birth.
A voice like his, and a persona like him, has been a very unique and a very different presence in the film industry. Sadanand ji wrote in his write up earlier today, about Rafi Sb’s ability to so absolutely match his voice with the personality of the on screen performer, that the viewer would forget that it is a different voice in the playback, and would simply see and hear the on screen person. This ability of his, was a natural gift that was born from the personality that he was.
