You may classify these songs of semiclassical music as those of Bach and Mozart and be preserved like gems in music.

[Mr00170017able]

These are gems of our semi classical music nd must be preserved with great care,like those of European musicians.,Bach,Mozart etc.

Mirza Sahib: I am looking for this "Chaiti" by Rasoolan Bai - “Yehi thaan’ee motia hiraae gaele Rama/ Kahaa’n wa’an wehka dhoondhoon?”

I am hoping between you and many of the connoisseurs of our music on this site, I will get lucky.

Khuda aapko salamat rakkhe!

mirza sahib, you should try and get a book recently released by rupa publications ...a biography of gauhar jan. by a young man called vikram sampath.with all its blemishes which consist of errors in transliterating hindi and urdu, a wonderful document.

45 rpm disc from the late 1950s or early 60s. what a voice!!subtlety of expressing emotion is unmatched.
