This is about a young boy,Sanjeev Ramabhadran, born and brought up in U.S.A. He was probably born after Rafisaab's demise. However he became so fascinated by his songs, listened to by his parents and their friends, right from infanthood, that he learnt Urdu and Hindi just to be able to sing them, himself. And what he has accomplished is all there for us to listen.
I am attaching one of Rafisaab's songs sung by him, as an example (without his permission, sorry!). He is not a proffessional singer though and leads a life like any other n.r.i. boy his age.
Happy listining.

SANJEEV RAMABHADRAN

Sanjeev Ramabhadran, born and raised in the U.S., is an Electrical Engineering graduate of Princeton University and a software engineer by profession. However, music is and always has been his passion. He has trained in Indian classical music with Shri Ram Phatak, a well-known vocalist and composer in India. During his visit to Bombay in 1996, Sanjeev also received guidance in vocal music from the eminent vocalist, Dr. Vidyadhar Vyas. In addition to giving solo performances in popular and classical Indian music, Sanjeev has accompanied visiting senior artists from India like Pt. V.G. Jog and the late Pt. Jitendra Abhisheki on tabla and violin respectively, in public concerts. His choices in popular music draw from a wide repertoire of songs by many artists ranging from the late K.L. Saigal to those of today, with the late Mohammed Rafi being a favorite. He also has the unique ability to sing while playing full orchestral support utilizing his keyboard.
In 1994 Sanjeev recorded his first CD in Bombay with the noted Indian playback singer Kavita Krishnamurty which was released in June 1995 (for more on this CD, 'Ram Nam Sukha Dham', please contact us or click here). He also received accolades for his first Indian concert performance in Bombay to an audience that included prominent Indian composers and performers. Sanjeev's 1996 trip to Bombay included another performance for an audience of distinguished musicians and press reporters, as well as a highly successful appearance on the popular television show, Zee TV's TVS Sa Re Ga Ma where he won first place.
For Sanjeev, training in Western music began with classical violin studies at age six. He served as Concertmaster of the Greater New Haven Youth Orchestra and also performed with several select chamber ensembles. He is also an accomplished vocalist and has participated in many choral festivals, including prestigious venues in Europe and the Carnegie Hall Centennial Celebration in New York. While at Princeton, he was a member of the prestigious acappella musical group, the Princeton Nassoons, which performs internationally.
Sanjeev has been recorded by noted film maker Woody Allen for his 1996 film "Everyone Says I Love You", in which he rendered a Hindi version of a famous Hollywood melody.
Sanjeev's training in Western and Indian music has provided him with the rare ability to interpret Indian music to Western audiences through lecture-demonstrations and radio broadcasts. He was a popular radio host for the Indian classical and popular music shows at Princeton University's WPRB 103.3 FM. At age 14, he published "Hindi Film Hits in Western Notation" for Indian-American children trained in Western music. This book was cited in the Indian and Indo-US media and several hundred copies have been sold in the U.S. and in Canada. Sanjeev graduated with an MBA from Duke University in 2004. He is currently a manager with the PDA group at PFIZER Pharamaceuticals in New York.
