It is shame, people in media became so materialistic and insensitive to originality. There is an old adage "Everything That Glitters Is Not Gold", but it looks like people are following opposite. I can not expect this in Bengal, which is home of Indian Music.

Thanks SS for opening this article, It is only IF which can honor great personalities, I hope we will have retro on SD Burman soon.👏👏👏

Jaadoo, Really such a Mahan Thought Aapki, yes you are so right about that "Everything That Glitters Is Not Gold". Thanks for thoughts and sure I do appreciate your Retro Idea.

BANGLA SONGS

Tumi Aar Nei Se Tumi

Ritu Chandra


A close look at SD Burman's musical output reveals that almost a fifth of his oeuvre comprises of his Bangla work. While Burman Dada's Hindi film based work gets the limelight it deserves from the mainstream audience, his stellar contribution to Bangla music (particularly folk music) gets somewhat sidelined.

Tumi Aar Nei She Tumi

Here in Burmanda's Pitara, by regularly featuring some of Dada's Bangla gems we hope to introduce his non-Bengali listeners to this not-to-be-missed booty and give the Bengali fans another chance to revisit these timeless classics. It also helps us get an insight into the mind-boggling range of this tremendous artist. From sombre classical bandishes, to light playful songs, to peppy folk songs, Dada's singing flowers in Bangla as he breaks free from the shackles of story, situation and character that bind film music.

Today's feature is one such winsome song from Burman's non-film Bengali oeuvre, Tumi aar nei she tumi. (You are not that same self anymore)... View Translation

Tumi aar nei she tumi is a song that traces it's vintage to the 50s and unlike a typical SD Burman song it does not sit as heavy on your emotional listening experience. Lyrically, the song speaks of the feeling of loss in the heart of a young lover who finds his object of affection to have changed her attitude towards him. Though he is at a loss to say why, there are small things that point to a wane in her old attraction for him. This basic theme is developed into a beautiful, wistful lament by the writer Gauri Prasanna Majumdar. Sachinda's singing adds on a childlike anxiety which is very typical to him.

Along with being musically engaging, this song is a great showcase of Burman's patented minimalism. Using the traditional light classical paradigm, Dada makes very eloquent use of just three elements to create the required mood. The tabla, a few scattered strings and the most powerful tool.. his own voice. When it came to giving expression to a tune, Sachin Dev Burman occupied a high-ground that was in the reach of very few. The high emotional intensity, delicate and spontaneous nuances and a topping of some totally unpredictable, almost whimsical touches made his presentation delightfully unusual and potent.

Here he imparts an affectionate, demanding restlessness to the whole proceedings and as usual, he does that with just a few masterly strokes. His comrade-in-arms for in this mission is the celebrated tabla nawaz Brijen Biswas(see below ). Biswas with his succinct tabla-work matches Burman's vocals stroke for stroke and together they paint a canvas which not only has depth and pathos and but is also vibrant at the same time.

While conventional wisdom suggests that it's best to leave you to your own devices to figure out what you like the best in this song, I cannot resist the temptation to turn your attention towards a few tingling flavours that delight this musical epicure.

- The restlessness that is mentioned before is brought out very eloquently each time the song returns to the mukhda. Note how the tabla pace picks up and the intensity in Dada's voice goes up even though he(dada) maintains the same pace in singing. And then as soon as the mukhda gets over the pace suddenly falls back. The effect is that of rising anxiety which suddenly flops down as though in temporary resignation.

- Dada's special technique of slightly elongating a word(or syllable) is employed to devastating effect in the portion tumi aa~~r, tumi aar, tumi aar… Equally devastating is the way he varies the phrase tumi aar.

Dada just see this song, it has wonderful lyrics. We alway give credit to music director and singer but lyrics is heart and soul of a good song and equally important. If lyrics is powerful, MD understand the meaning of lyrics perfectly and singer touches the soul and emotion behind song then a song always comes out as gem. Which is definitely missing these days.

Jaadoo, Good point and You are right. But it looks like we in search of lost Musical India.
