Music …….. According to my experience music is very subjective it depends on our perception. I have seen so may people and so many judges making comments on the contestants that there voice quality is suitable of certain kind of songs……………. Ya it may be true but . I have seen those contestants singing the songs out of there genre very beautifully. So who actually decides what our genre is -------- actually no one can decide that dear frnds----- I have sung those songs which were said to be (not of my genre). I don’t think that I am not good in this genre. If rafi saahab , kishore saahab would have beleaved these comments at there career time then they would not have succeeded in there music career. Please don’t believe these false comments. It’s a scientific fact every one has got different voice, if we all have got different voises then how come we will sing the songs the way rafi and kishore sang Its not possible man its unscientific with all due regards to these great s...

There a lot of singers in hindi music singers but some of the people who created history were people like rafi saahab. This song that I have sung is for that legendary singer…………….. and it’s a tribute to him. We can never be like him but one thing I learnt from him is originality….. I have never followed any singer but I like some of the great Indian singers a lot like--- rafi, kishore, hariharan, sonu nigam, sukhwinder etc. I have learnt a lot from them……. Because they all were original . Only sonu nigam has followed rafi saahb but now he is also singing in his original style……… So all new singers don’t be a copy-cat follow your style and follow your heart….

It is all related to history of india, the moguhals and English (simon commission) played a vital role in changing the style of poetry in india. When moghouls came to india and invaded india a new form of poetry started ghazals and kawwali styles……… Kawwali is a rather sufi style of poetry in which the sufi saints use to express there feelings towards allah. My emphasis is on the time when there was lot of influence of lakhnow gharana on the northern belt in india. Different forms of singing and poetry which were there in india like thumari (in which classical singers use to show lot of gayaki ang ) there were lot of harkat & murkis , kan swars in thumari ang . Basically it is a form in which a classical singer don’t have to follow the strict grammer of Indian classical ragas and they can show there own style....
