The Wonderful Sounds of 1930s – 5

What to write about the voice for which no information is apparently traceable.  Many artists of the 1930s have become obscure.  The Indian cinema industry is notorious for ignoring its own history and roots.  There have been no industry supported or sponsored programs or efforts aimed as compiling and collating the history of its own.

Akbar Khan Durrani Peshawari – a voice that appears to be a trained classical singer, has no traceable information available, other than of course the listings in the Geet Kosh, that identify maybe about 5 songs sung by him. Searching on the YouTube, one can locate maybe about four or five of his songs, all of which are not identified in the Geet Kosh.  There are two songs from the film ‘Sultaana’ (1934), which are available in his voice.  Both are wonderful gems – “Kitaab e Dard mein Likha Mere Gham Ka Fasaana Hai” and “Mushkil Kushaa Hai Naam Tera”.  On the blog, we have one more song in his voice already posted; the film is ‘Postman’ (1938) and the song “Hauslaa Aashiq Ko Chaahiye Dil Ko Lagaane Ke Liye“.
