If identifying music directors was easy. Then consider this. Identifying musicians !!
It is a highly "technical" subject. Only people close to Bollywood music industry can say with surety that a particular piece of music was played by such and such musician.
But I guess, there is no harm in trying. I claim that I can identify three musicians of Bollywood. Tony Vaz, Shivkumar Sharma and Hari Prasad Chaurasia.
This so called "technical" subject was learnt by me by reading and listening to interviews. Also from popular Radio Shows. Google and internet has also widened my knowledge.
However, there are some questions. Did Ramesh Iyer play guitar for other music directors apart from RDBurman? Did Gorakhbhai(brother of Pyarelal) play guitar for other music directors? What about Raj Sodha? Or Kishore Sodha? Or Nitin Shankar? And Sivamani of south?
Here is looking forward to evergreen music again and again from Bollywood. Goodbye !!

Perhaps Nitin Shankar played congo for "Laila main Laila" song of Qurbaani.
ReplyDeleteKalyanji played the famous Nagin melody.
RDBurman has played mouth organ for other music directors. But details not known.
Hari Prasad Chaurasia has possibly played flute for "Wahaan Kaun hai tera" SDBurman song.
ReplyDeleteThere was santoor too in one SDBurman song. Shiv Kumar Sharma? I do not remember the song.
Then of course, Tony Vaz and Shiv Kumar Sharma with RDBurman.
And Hari Prasad Chaurasia in "Jab chaha yaara tumne" along with Shiv Kumar Sharma.
In the song "Teri Bindiya Re" from Abhimaan, there is santoor. This song was composed by SDBurman. Possibly santoor was played by Shiv Kumar Sharma.
DeleteLydian Nadhaswaram is a most amazing talent.
ReplyDeleteThe point to learn from him is the importance of showing off in music playing.
I play dafli with my singing. I invented playing method for taals. I developed notations too.
ReplyDeleteBut then I draw too. And am interested in mathematics. And computer and mobile software.
