Musical Melodies ... Magical RaDev Moments !! - Page 3

What would the hindi film industry be without the contribution of Bengal 👍🏼 . I am not a bengali but just admire the talented people of Bengal, love the sweetness of the language, love their music and last but not the least love their food 😃

Samia,

Gardes..................Pankaj Mallick. Never thought that I will hear his name from a non-bengali ............PMs name reminds me of being woken up early in the morning for school (truthfully dragged from the bed by my mother) with pankaj mallicks songs in the background coming out either from my fathers radio or his record collection. One of my fav songs by him is in bengali............it translates as

Sorry I just remeber the words of the first paragraph............the bengali wordings are given in red

Hey Eva, tried spyware 10 times over, and all the others u suggested so kindly .. but nada .. so this time have to have faith in kanha as my mother does for ions ...

I'm beside myself !! Gardes, our "old" gang here will tell u the striking similarities in our taste for the old songs, yes including k l saigal, pankaj mullik, noorjahan, talat M, hemant K, shamshaad begum, kishore K (of course) ... to name just a few .... As we also know from sa re ga ma show that Bengal produced amazing talent, incl Geeta Roy (later Dutt of course) ..

Also it so happens that 99.9% songs posted in this new thread and the last two have so so many songs repeated coz of their unique melody, meaning of lyrics, the way they really touch the core of your soul ... no wonder they are called "abhi to main jawan hoon" ...

And Gardes since u r relatively new, just addressing u that me belongs to 2-3 generations of music lovers, singers, both semi-classical, ghazals ... on and on .. And I'm just awe-struck when u mentioned about Anand Math song coz it happens to be one of my most fav unique songs with Geeta D where all she says repeatedly throughout the length of the song are same 3 words ~ JAY JAGDISH HARE ... And of course same movie has one of my top 10 songs by Hemant K and Lata - Vande maataram ...

Misti, you simply amaze me. Not too many people know of Pankaj Mallick. My parents introduced us to K. L. Saigal, Pankaj Mallick, K C Dey, etc. at a young age. I had tapes at first and now CDs. Pankaj Mallick was my favorite! I listen to PM's music when I feel low and I bounce back. You guessed correctly, I am a non-Bengali who appreciates his music but unfortunately I have his Hindi music, sung with such a distinct Bengali accent. If I did not learn the lyrics from my father, I would be lost today. Love it! He provided music and sang with noted singers like Saigal, etc. from that era.

Sometimes it feels like it is a generation that will be lost in a culture that is getting so westernized and won't appreciate the uniqueness that was, until it is too late! I saw the Sa Re Ga Ma.. mega episode on Sat. and could not find one song that was pure Hindi, unless it was an oldie!

Hey Mishti.. Khub shundar gan... I can perfectly understand and gan karte o khub bhalo lage... but only bathroom singer.. he he..

Hey misti, Welcome aboard !! Cant believe your knowledge too ... amazing, just like your thread on "Q to the creatives" wow !!!
