Lovely song collection from you and Mousy.👏Originally posted by: LizzieBennet
So the last song I posted 'Aa Neele gagan tale' from the movie Badshah 1954 is in Raag Bhimpalasi or Bhimpalas. I try my best to 'recognize' raags ever since I was a child because my dad would make it into a quiz competition between me and my brother! 😆 Chalo- raag bolo- you'll get a chocolate/ or some other treat like 1 hour of TV watching! 😆
I'll try and make this a series and post songs from the same raag that I know of.
Bhimpalasi is a beautiful raag and classified as an afternoon raag and the songs based on it are also beautiful. In Carnatic music, the raag that comes closest is Aberi or Devagandhari.
Here are some lovely songs in this raag..
Maine chand aur sitaron ki tamanna ki thi... from Chandrakanta (1956)
Music: N. Dutta, Lyrics: Sahir Ludhianvi, Singer: Mohd. Rafi
Ae Ri main toh prem deewani from Naubahar (1952)
Music: Roshan, Lyrics: Shailendra, Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
Tere sadke balam from Amar (1954)
Music: Naushad, Lyrics: Shakeel Badayuni, Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
Do post more songs in Bhimpalas!
