16 UNRELEASED SONGS REVIVED & REMASTERED - TO COMMEMORATE THE COMPOSER’S 85TH BIRTH ANNIVERSARY
Madan Mohan, one of India’s legendary composers, passed away at the young age of 51, on July 14, 1975.
TERE BAGAIR features 15 such rare treasures, of which 5 have never been ever heard before as they have been exclusively excavated for this unique album. These are songs found from his master tapes, which had been preserved by his family. These 15 songs were recorded by Madanji in his peak years, in his characteristic style, with his unmistakable use of the sitar and violins in the orchestra, and set to the lyrics of his favorite poets.
These songs, recorded from 1964 to 1972, were sung by the legendary singers of India, and his own favorite singers, Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, Mohammed Rafi, Talat Mahmood, and Kishore Kumar in their inimitable styles.
These 15 songs are of various moods – songs of pathos, ghazals, naghmas, romantic ditties, ballads, and even dance ‘item’ songs.
With 3 songs each by Lataji and Ashaji, 1 each by Talatsaheb and Kishoreda, this album has 7 nuggets by Rafisaheb – and if it is a rare treasure for a Madanji fan, it is an unexpected treasure as well for all fans of these great singers as some of these songs have never been heard before.
This album has been aptly titled TERE BAGAIR, which is the haunting refrain of its opening song, KAISE KATEGI ZINDAGI…
