REALLY RARE BAPPI SONGS


Bappi Lahiri or Alokesh Lahiri (b. 1953) is a music director in the Hindi (or Bollywood) film industry. He pioneered the use of disco music in Indian cinema, and also sang some of his own compositions. He was especially very popular in the 1980s with films like Disco Dancer, Namak Halaal and Sharaabi among others. He is very fond of jewellery and is usually found wearing gold ornaments and black glasses.

Bappi Lahiri was born in Calcutta, West Bengal in 1953 into a family with a rich tradition in classical music. His father, Aparesh Lahiri was a famous Bengali singer and his mother, Bansari Lahiri was a musician and a singer who was well-versed in classical music and Shyama Sangeet. He was their only child. At a very early age, he had the ambition to become famous, not only nationally, but internationally. He began to play the tabla at the tender age of three. His relatives from his mother's family include Kishore Kumar and the S. Mukherjee clan. Initially he was trained by his parents, after which he received his first opportunity in a Bengali film, Daadu (1972) at the age of 19.

He came to Bollywood at the young age of 19. The first film for which he composed music was Nanha Shikari (1973). The turning point of his career was Tahir Husain's Hindi film, Zakhmee (1975), for which he composed music and doubled as a playback singer. He himself sung a duet with Mohammed Rafi and Kishore Kumar called Nothing is Impossible for the same film. The songs of his next film, Chalte Chalte, became a rage. With Ravikant Nagaich's Surakshaa his singing and music became even more popular.

He also scored music for many Hindi films produced from South India.

Bappi Lahiri pioneered the use of disco music in Indian cinema with an Indian flavour. Most of his songs would be rendered by the two greats of Bollywood, Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhosle. After the death of Kishore Kumar, he launched Alisha Chinoy and Vijay Benedict into the music industry. He also used Usha Uthup for his compositions.

Bappi was also known to be inspired by popular western numbers, and some of his songs were based on popular western hits, including Dil Tha Akela from Suraksha ("Hasta Mañana" by ABBA), Jeena Bhi Kya Hai Jeena from Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki (Billy Jean), Tera Mera Pehla Yaarana from Shart (Karma Chameleon by Culture Club), Koi Yahan Nache Nache (Video Killed The Radio Star by The Buggles) and Jimmy Jimmy (T'es OK, T'es Bath by Ottawan) from Disco Dancer, Hari Om Hari from Pyara Dushman (One Way Ticket by Eruption)Zubi Zubi from the movie Dance Dance (Brother Louie by Modern Talking)

He disappeared from the Indian film industry in the 1990s. He made a brief comeback in the Prakash Mehra produced 'Dalal' starring Mithun Chakraborty. The song 'Chadh Gaya Upar Re' from the film was a big hit, though it had its own share of controversies due to its suggestive lyrics. In 2004, he brought out his album 'Bappi Magic - The Asli Baap Mix', featuring popular numbers such as 'Gori Hai Kalaiyan' and 'Jimmy Jimmy', all remixed in the trademark Bappi style. It attained great popularity. In 2005, he composed the background score for the Jahnu Barua film, 'Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Maara', thus reaffirming his identity as a very versatile composer. In 2006, he lent his voice to another composer for the first time with the song "Boombai Nagariya" which he sang for Vishal-Shekhar for the movie Taxi Number 9211. The song turned out to be an instant hit due to Bappi's singing and the musical arrangement. Of late, he has once again lent his voice to the title track of the Mani Ratnam film 'Guru', in which the music has been composed by A.R.Rahman. He has also recorded songs for the movie 'Level Crossing' produced by actor Jayaprada. In 2006, he appeared on the popular television show 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L'il Champs' on Zee TV as co-judge with singers Alka Yagnik and Abhijeet. He is currently a judge for the 2007 edition of Zee TV's 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa'. In a recent interview(september 2007) he said "I have films like Journey from Bombay to Goa, Jhoom, Khushboo, Mudrank, Ek Hasina Ek Dewana, Jaane Bhi Do Yaroo, Budda Mil Gaya, Boothnath and of course, the show with the Jacksons, in the pipeline."

Bappi Lahiri is married with two children. His wife's name is Chitrani, his daughter is called Rema and son is called Bappa. According to Times of India, Bappi's daughter Rema married an American baritone Shouvik Mondale in year 2004. According to the newspaper story, they met in Los Angeles in 2002.
Some of the movies for which he composed successful music are:

Suraksha,
Waardat,
Commando,
Pyara Dushman,
Disco Dancer,
Dance Dance,
Film Hi Film,
Tarzan,
Kasam Paida Karne Wale Ki,
Wanted,
Guru,

Tu Mujhe Jaan Se Bhi Pyaraa hai (Wardat)
Bambai Se Aaya mera Dost ( Aap ki khatir)
