the 1st time I heard her was in the song " humain tum say piyar kitna".
And ever since I wonder how come Kishore's version is more popular.
what a voice and what a skill.

I'll appreciate any numbers in her voice, if someone is gracious enough to upload them.
Any other movie songs.
Or any classical numbers.
in any language.
I would like to hear Darbari in her voice. I have yet to hear darbari in a female voice.

I would be really thankfull if someone could get me some perween sultana classicals.

Waqas,
Here is a personal favorite in two parts. The not so common Raga Nandkauns/Nandkosh. By the way, this is the only piece I have in this Raga and I would welcome additions. I know Amjad Ali Khan has a recording of this raga too.

Sahibal :

Thanks for Nandkaunse.Looking for Nand by Ashwini Bhide.

K

What a piece
THANks man

my guess is bharav.
WAqas

Waqas,
I quote from Rajan Parrikar's brief description -
"Raga Nandkauns

Nandkauns represents a happy marriage of Jog with Malkauns (it bears no relation to Raga Nand). The poorvAnga of Jog - S G M, (S)g->S - is grafted onto Malkauns. The powerful madhyam dominates the proceedings. A sample chalan is:

S, (n’)d’ n’, n' S, S n’ g, g->S
S G G M, G M (n)d (n)d n d, M P G M, S G M P, G M (S)g->S "

It surely is a hauntingly beautiful raga.

Wow!
This information was a bit too much for me.
I don't know what poorvAnga mean.
The rest of it I got.
Thanks
I have heard Maulkuans and Jog. I'll hear them again to see.

Here is some info on poorvang vadi raag:

acc to http://satrangimusic.netfirms.com/Raag%20Time%20Cycle.htm





Then it goes on to define Poorvang Vaadi raag :



If Poorva Bhaag is defined as 12 P.M. to 12 A.M., then, why does it say 12 A. M. to 12 P.M.? So either the definition of Poorva Bhaag is wrong or the Poorvang Vaadi raag is ill-defined.

The trouble is that countless web sites have just copied the same as above from one another. So what is the truth?


Anyway, have you heard Parveen Sultana singing "Kaun Galee Gayo Shyam" from Pakeezah? The same composition has also been sung by ever sweet Prabha Atre.

Here it is..

NO I had not listened to it.
Thanks to u now I have.
She was probably young when she sang this song
I can tell by her voice.
The essence of youth is there. However, there is no lack of maturity.
Thanks my friend.
Waqas

Since poorva mean something that comes first. my guess is that, poorva bhaag is from 12 am to 12 pm..
what do u think.

any body has "bhawani dayani" in sadra bhairavi of perween sultana.
?????????

Parveen Sultana - Bhawani Dayani.

Anurag,
I looked up V.N.Bhatkhande's Kramik Pustak Malika and he defines Poorvang Vaadi raags as the ones sung from midnight to noon and Uttarang vaadi raags are sung from noon to midnight. Guess your website got the definition of poorva and uttar bhag wrong.
Bibhas

Just for the sake of clarification, "Sadra Bhairavi" is not a variant of Bhairavi (unlike Jangla Bhairavi and Sindhu Bhairavi). "Saadra" is a vocal music form like Khayal, Dhrupad, Tarana, Tappa etc and Parween Sultana's famous "Bhavani Dayani" is a "saadra" in Raag Bhairavi. The Saadra was originally composed by none other than the great musician, vaaggeyakaara and shaastrakara, V.N. Bhatkhande.

It goes:
bhavaani, dayaani, mahaa baaka baani
sura nara muni jana maani, sakala budha gyaani
jaga janani, jaga jaani, mahishaasura maradani
jwaalaamukhi chandi, amar pad daani


Thanks for the wonderful request and Thanks to Shaibaal for the lovely upload.

This website rocks. I say once agian, it is a miracle.

And Bhibas, that was some great information on Sadra. I thought it was some form
of Bhairvi.

And thank u mister shaibaal. beautiful peice this one.
Waqas.

yo, could u translate all that.
meray to sar say guzer gaya.

does any body know what it means. I kinda have an idea.
But not sure. and by the way what language is it. Sanskirt?

Guys please more.

Shaibaal, I have nandkauns by amjad ali khan. Would you like to listen to it?

Anurag,
I would be delighted ...and grateful. I have a light classical version of Nandkauns in Bangla and I guess it should be in some other thread - but here it is. The singer is Ramanuj Dasgupta. Just love the raga..

thanks

Shaibaal,
This is an absolutely wonderful song. Ramanuj Dasgupta's voice is really beautiful, it's the first time I've heard of him. Do you have more details on the artist and any more of his songs? Would love to hear'em.
Bibhas

Bibhas,
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Actually I was visiting family in your neck of the woods and got back last evening.
Ramanuj Dasgupta was well known for being an exponent of Nazrul Geeti and Ragaprodhan songs - as semiclassical songs are referred to in Bangla. He kind of disappeared from the scene a few years ago but has some recent releases signalling a comeback of sorts. He also sang for a few bangla films. I have uploaded a few of his songs in the "kachcha dhaaga" thread under 'Bengali'.
