The dynamo of Indian classical music is stilled. And the strings of the sitar will be played no more.
Pt. Ravi Shankar, the most enduring icon of Indian classical music, and the most influential ambassador of India’s culture to the entire world, passed away on 12th December (India time, 11th December local time) in San Diego, USA. He breathed his last one week after having undergone a valve replacement surgery. At the age of 92, he was still active on stage, still continued to tour, and had just a week earlier been nominated yet once again for the 2013 Grammy awards.

The decade of the 1970s was when the significant transition happened in the Hindi film music, as the old order gave way to the new sounds. The number of music directors and singers with grounding in Indian classical music was dwindling, and the musical arrangements and the melodies were getting to be transformed, forever.

The Voice of Mukesh #7
— — — — — — — —
As we had progressed from 1941 to 1942, one duet song for Mukesh was so far missing from the posts, on account of this song being unavailable anywhere I had checked at that point in time. Well, since then, things have changed, and now I have been able to recently acquire an audio recording of this song which I am posting online today. I must thank Shri Pradeep Sharma ji of Delhi, who has been very kind to share this song with me. I came in touch with Pradeep ji, just about one week ago. And in our very first meeting, he shared with me that he is a Mukesh fan, and has most of the songs by this singer. I immediately asked him whether he had this song. He confirmed it spontaneously. Mind you, all this exchange is happening as we meet for the first time, have just said hello, and the only next sentence he had said that he is a Mukesh fan. All other detailed introductions and discussion on collections and singers and songs, happened later. The request for the song, the confirmation and the promise to send it, happened first. And the next day, the song was sitting in my mailbox.

I have discussed songs from “Insaaf” (1956) and “Insaaf” (1966) in the past. It appears that a movie of this title was released at every 10 years inerval those days, seeing that there was a movie with this title in 1946 too. 🙂
