Awaaz Dey KahaaN Hay

Salim,

A turkish collegue of mine was talking about the ``Ural Altaic`` family a few months ago, so I did some research and found there is quite a bit of controversy surrounding it. A linguist friend of mine feels its baloney, but its obviously something lot of Turks believe in.

#92, Swarrier,
Yes, Indian Bollywood music has always been popular with Turks. Also, I noted that many Turks can sing ``Jeeway, Jeeway, Jeeway Pakistan`` with great enthusiasm and fun. The Kurds, especially, enjoy Urdu because their own language is akin to Farsi and very different from Turkish - an Ural Altaic language.

Re: # 93

Ah, you must be talking about Ashwini Nachappa and yes they made a film on her. She was a sprinter, came from the Coorg area of South India. Had a sister who was an athlete too, Pushpa. She is quite active in Bangalore with various sports works for children.
No I have not seen the film or heard the music, unfortunately. I have not seen Eeshwar either . I believe the female lead was Vijayashanti.

Thanks.

Aswani name of the movie. story about a girl who surmounts a lot of odds to become a champion, olympic, runner. Perhaps based on a true story.

Seems like this also is hindi version of original Tamil/Malyalam.

O what a breadth of fresh air!

I liked one song in Eishwar. Oh the girl opposite Anil Kapoor, a joy to behold & an exhilirating experience watch her finely choreographed dance.

South-India! you are eeman-shikan; I`ve to watch out--or maybe watch you more and put my eeman to test for more rewards.

This is for our resident Turkish expert Salim Chauhan

In 1989 I heard a Turkish group who called themselves ``The Mustafa 3`` sing ``Awara Hoon`` at Club Passim in Cambridge, Massachusetts. How`s that for a meeting of continents?

Someone wants you in ooper vali manzil: 4th mala from top, one above this one.
please repatriate yourself back to Pakistan. We need you.
See you there!``}

Echo Sahib,
Please explain to this dense nacheez how I can help my beloved Pakistan? Also, I did not understand the upper story, 4th floor from top, above this one. Are you talking about ``Market Street`` on Chowk?

Thanks for your invitation to return to Pakistan, but as you can see from the response I get to my views on Chowk from many Pakistani ``brethren,`` my short life would be easily snuffed out. Perhaps it is wiser (and safer) and certainly more productive to set Pakistan`s moral compass from a distance. Your thoughts?

A musical Titan has passed away...

Noor Jehan gained wide fame through ``Anmol GhaRi``

so the trio of Noor Jehan, Lata & Rafi owed a great

deal to Naushad (while not forgetting the contribution of

Master Ghulam Haidar here).

Thanks Banjaara for doing justice to a legend.

PS: Which school did you go to in E.Pak?

Thanks. I knew rcvap.tripod.com but the links didn`t work earlier when I tried. They work now. Echo`s site doesn`t show up on google.

His control over voice and pitch was like a sarangi player`s over the instrument. And the rendition of lyrics, quite unbelievable for a boy his age.

Re: # 85
Kalapani is Illayaraja, both Hindi and Malayalam.

I did not quite place Ashwani . Is that a film? Hint?

I`ll look up Kurshid Anwar. Thanks.

khamkhaw#80:

He (Master Madan) sounded like a female because he was a mere boy and died (piosoned) at the age of 14.

swarrier:

Some songs from Ashwani & Saza-i Kala-pani are superb. who is the music D? any link?

Khurshid-Anwar`s are on tap-just google.

Re: # 83

Jang,
Everybody borrows from folk. You don`t think every music director or composer comes up with only original tunes or works do you? It`s what you do with the raw material that matters. Chopin can take mazurkas of his mother`s Poland and build on that. Dvorak takes dances from his native Bohemia and works on them. Copland took stuff from Negro minstrels. Even Delius did that. Kachaturian and Stravinsky, Rimsky-Korsakov used so many Russian folk influences.
You will see less innovation as time goes on perhaps with recorded artists. Keith Jarrett once said that recording companies buy a musician`s soul. That is what happens when most artistes get established.

Salil Chowdhury also composed in Malayalam and Bengali (of course). There is a lovely Yesudas song from a film called ``Madanolsavam``. The South Indian music directors especially the more recent ones took a different tack from Bollywood.
I have not heard Kurshid Anwar since my old National Echo radio broke down in the 80`s. It`s a pity that the old recordings are not released on CD`s. At least if they are , I am not aware of them.
Hridayanath Mangeshkar, Bhaskar Chandavarkar, Vanraj Bhatia . Hridayanath was sometimes too complicated .

salil-da was also ``accused`` of borrowing from folk-e.g. the bichua song.
