Indeed, am very pleased to share this with you that recently ‘Fountain Music’ has released my first SOLO professional audio CD, Titled as - "Dil Hee To Hai!"
Dil Hee To Hai, is in some ways, a tribute paid to the rare gems of the old tradition of Semi-Classical Hindustani Music, like Rasoolanbaai, Begum Akhtar & Nainadevi… This CD includes Traditional Ghazals, Thumri-Dadra & few Sufi Kalaams too… Also the attempt has been made to celebrate the essence of the poetry of great Sufi/Saints & Urdu Shayars like Ameer Khusro, Kabir, Mirza Ghalib, Faiz, Jigar & so on…
To my great fortunes, eminent film critic & Urdu scholar from Pune, Prof. Satish Bahadur has conceptualized & scripted this entire project, & also – a luminous actor from theatre & film, Atul Kulkarnihas contributed to this project as a compeer & an orator… I would like to humbly mention here, that we do Not claim any originality or perfection regarding the content & the form of 'Dil Hee To Hai!', yet - i do feel that Prof. Bahadur’s illuminating scripting has - to a great extent, demystified the poetry of these maestros & has made it possible for me to take 'Dil Hee To Hai' closer to a common music-lover's heart... I quote Prof. Bahadur’s words regarding ‘Text-Oriented Singing’ here – “Urdu Ghazal needs a presentation in which the (difficult/unfamiliar) Urdu words & the design of the Text, are explained to Non-Urdu listeners. This enables the Hindi listener to have a better understanding of how the content of the poem could be important over the meaning of it, & which is inherent in the ‘Text’ of the poem itself… as it is always important in making of art, that ‘How’ it is Done than merely ‘What’ is done!” ‘Dil Hee To Hai’ seeks now the true success by reaching to an ear of a True Listener! :O)
PS - (Thank you so much for all your genuine support dear friends... & also, For the friends who have made personal inquiries about the CD… I must add here that Dil Hee To Hai belongs to a small stream of parallel music & Not to the main stream-popular music… thus it can’t be available anywhere & everywhere… Only few leading stores in Metros like Planet M Or Crossword Or Music World can get you one copy of it… that too if you specifically ask for it… or you may also get it directly from me… :O) )
