Since we showcasing local talents .......

A beautiful prayer sung by Geeta Bisram

Dave, this one is my WIP.  Superb rendition... very close to Yesu's version. 

Dave this one was very popular in Guyana back in the day. It's done in Raag Bhimpalasi.

Loved this song. Ishri Singh used to play it frequently on his Sunday afternoon program while the weddings were taking place.

This is a very painful song. I am longing for you. I cannot live nor die. I am in great distress... so much pain... 

Let's spin some happy tunes.

Last one before I go do some real work.

It was Cuckoo who introduced her to Bollywood. 

I was blessed to see Kishore perform this one.

This is one heck of a song. I believe I saw Kishore Kumar when I went to the Jeetendra and Sri Devi show at the Madison Square Garden. I saw Manna Dey in Guyana. Saw Lata at the Promenade Gardens, the at the National Park and the next day at Rama Krishna Mandir. Read namaaz right next to Rafi at Kitty Masjid. I am very fortunate.

This is in Raag Shivaranjani. Kishore had no training in classical music. It's amazing how he hit the high notes with precision. The pathos of this raag brought out the  piteousness of the meaning even to those who do not understand the language. I recall how the audience was quiet and it was quite noticeable how some were shedding a tear and how he got a standing ovation for his rendition. 

This song is indeed very difficult to imitate. The slow pace makes it more enjoyable.

Here are lyrics and translation:

I shed a tear just listening to him singing as if he is singing this Talat song about himself. 

itna na mujhse pyaar tu badha, ki main ik badal aawara

kaise kisi ka sahara banoon, ki main khudh beghar bechara

Ksazma, listen to this. He's probably better than Rafi; full of vim, vigor and vitality.
