While starting out on this series on lesser known Music Directors, I
came across many classical exponents who have tried their skills in film music. I start with a tabla maestro viz, Allah Rakha or A. R. Qureshi as he was known in Hindi film industry. Inputs are from Yogesh Yadav's book. I have found an informative link online: http://www.downmelodylane.com/allarakha.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date of Birth: 24-04-1919 (Gurudaspur, Punjab) Death: 03-02-2000 (Mumbai) Nobody would have imagined that the son of farmer in Punjab would become a Tabla maestro one day. Of his eight children, Allah Rakha's father gave permission to learn tabla to Allah Rakha only. Allah Rakha learned under Ustad Kadir Baksh. He also learnt tabla under Lal Mohammed Sheikh. When Allah Rakha was 16 years old he used to play table for a Theatre troupe. He later joined Lahore Radio then Delhi Radio and finally he came to Mumbai in 1937. He started giving music in films 1942 onwards. He gave music for 40 films. However most of them were for small banners and stunt films. His last film was ‘Id Ka Chand’(1964). He gave music in three Punjabi films. His son Zakir Hussain is a renowned Tabla artist. I will be posting some his song listings and songs soon.

These are beautiful songs which I had surprisingly never heard before. The duet Madhur Suron Mein Gaye Chandni is divine and the file name leads me to believe that the male singer is AR Qureshi himself. Is that correct? It is a beautiful voice and any more vocals by this male singer would be good to hear. Kind Regards Faraaj Kind Regards Faraaj Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. - Victor Hugo There is only one better thing than music - live music. - Jacek Bukowski I hate music, especially when it's played. - Jimmy Durante No good opera plot can be sensible, for people do not sing when they are feeling sensible. - W. H. Auden |
