Friends,
I had posted this request a while back in SKS (before the advent of the bengali forum) but that request remained unfulfilled. I am hoping to have better luck this time.
I am looking for the following songs, I don't have a whole lot of info on them.

1. Srabana Gagane Ghor Ghana-ghata : This is from Bhanusingher Padavali. It has been sung by Suchitra Mitra and probabaly others as well. At this point, any version would do, but if you can U/L Suchitra Mitra's version, it would be great.

2. Ke dilo khopate dhutura phool : This is a folk song. I don't have any info on the singer. Lovely catchy folksy tune.


3. Pa, PaMaGaReSa, Taar Chokher Jatil Bhasha : This is an adhunik gaan, again I have no info on the singer.


I hope to get at least some of these. HF ke terabytes of music collection mein kahiin to yeh gaane chupe honge.

Looks like I've asked for very rare songs..... many views but no replies. I'd appreciate if someone can at least point me to a source for songs from Bhanusingher padavali.

Bibhas,
I am actually surprised too. I personally do not have much of a Tagore collection but "Shawan gagane" is fairly common. I have never heard the folk song you refer to but "pa ma ga re sa" is sung by Lata Mangeshkar (Salil Chowdhury's tune) and is very popular and common. I have it somewhere - did not bother to look so far as I was sure one of the other Bengalis would have it handy.... Give me a few days.

Phew.... That's a relief. I was begining to get disappointed. No hurry, take your time, just as long as you find'em.

Shaibaal-da, aapni kothai?

Ekhaneyi aachhi! Also located one song - on tape! I will convert over the weekend and upload. Bhule jaayi nee...
Cheers,
Shaibaal.

Bibhas,
Here is "sawan gagane ghor ghan ghata" - the singer is Rama Mandal.

Thank you Piya for reviving the thread - and Jyotirmoy for the Lata version. I will be d/ling that in a minute.
I am uploading a version by Pandit Jasraj. It is a pretty long piece - more than 15 mins the bulk of which (almost ten minutes) is devoted to an alaap in Raga Miya ki Malhar. What is also unique is that the alaap is in the dhrupad ang - I have never heard Panditji sing a dhrupad before.

One of my fav songs -- I had uploaded this some months back (http://www.hamaraforums.com/index.php?s=&showtopic=13062&view=findpost&p=331814) -- the only info I am missing is the year -- when did Lata sing this ??

B-da -- thanks so much for the Pt.Jasraj vesion. Could U please re-upload the Rama Mandal version ??? And any other versions -- like Suchitra Mitra version as BibhasDa mentions ??

must have been deleted from the server, since it is more than a month time.

Piya Ji, Jyotirmoy ji,
Anek Dhanyabaad! I had given up hope!
