Jhumroo

Friends,
Thought i would change the mood from an emotional 'Maa' to a crazy 'Jhumroo'. As you all know Kishore Kumar was the pioneer of yoddling in the bollywood music industry. He was an expert at yoddling and this song proves exactly that. Genius that he was Kishore wrote the lyrics of this song and also composed it. Most probably other music directors did not give him the opportunity to go berserk with his yoddling skills and so he composed this on his own. Although a fun song to sing it is a very tough song specially in the way Kishore effortlessly uses falsetto time and again and then quickly switches to his normal voice. I have made an honest attempt. Hope you can have a listen at your convenience.

Maa

Friends,
This song needs no introduction...if you have seen the movie then you must have just loved this song. Its been sung on most reality shows most recently by Rahul Vidya. I heard the song first time on the internet (where else !) and i have not yet seen the movie. My friend's tell me that it is a 'guaranteed to make you cry' movie ! The song is just amazing..the lyrics absolutely beautiful and Shankar's voice just flows brilliantly throughout the song. I have made an attempt to sing it. Please have a listen at your convenience.
