TRIBUTE TO SHANKAR JAIKISHAN–9•September 14,
”SWEETEST SONGS ARE THOSE, THAT TELL OF SADDEST THOUGHTS”
…..HOW Shankar Jaikishan interpreted these words by tuning sad songs in fast tunes. otherwise it was the notion that sad songs are sung in a sad mood and in slow tone…..S-J changed the trend successfully by tuning the sad songs in fast melody. and the society, the people gladly accepted those immortal songs as composed by the duos and still fresh in their memories. few examples pl.see…….”chhod gaye balam, mujhe hai akela chhod gaye”(awara), ”raja ki aayegi barat rangili hogi raat, magan main nachungi”(aah), ‘’sab kuchh seekha hamne, na seekhi hoshiari, sach hai duniyawalon ke ham hain AANARI”., ”tera jaana, dil ke armano ka lut jana, koi dekhe banke taqdeeron ka mit jana”(anari), ”o basanti pawan pagal, na ja re na ja, roko koiiiiiiiiiii(jis desh mein ganga behti hai). ”rasta wahi aur musafir wahi, ek tara na jaane kahan chhup gaya, duniya wahi duniyawale wahi koi kya jaane kisha jahan lut gaya, …meri aakhon me rahe kaun jo mujhse kahe, maine dil tujhko diya….ramaiya vasta vaiya”". ”o jaane wale mud ke zara dekhte jaana, dil tod kar to chal diye, mujhko na bhulana, zara dekhte jana” (Shri 420), ”dil apna aur preet parai kisne hai ye reet banai”(dil apna..) ”tumhari bhi jay jay hamari bhi jay jay(diwana) and many more. besides their clever use of ‘chorus’ as an instrument, makes them immortal—in ”ajeeb dastan hai ye, kahan shuru kahan khatam”(dil apna aur preet parai), ”dil ke jharokhe mein tujhko bithakar”(brahmachari), ”ban ke panchhi gayen pyar ka tarana” (anari). etc.
what others say of their music. tabla maestro, zakir hussain some 3 yrs ago narrating on one tv channel about the use of tabla, dholak synchronisation…….and he gave the example ”that Shankar Jaikishan well used this combination in their film, Ujala and the song was….”o mora nadan balma na jaane jee ki baat” and the whole song was played.
next some few yrs back, Mannada was presenting his songs on DD2, in the last he sang…”ai bhai zara dekh ke chalo” written by Neeraj. Neeraj was present there and he went to Mannada and told that Shankar phoned him that he wants a song for ‘MERA NAAM JOKER’, which can neither be true lyrics or true prose, because in Bombay, he does not want to use the lyric writer and this will not suit to his liking and the tune he made. then … Neeraj came to Bombay, and wrote the song on Shankar’s tune ”ai bhai zara dekh ke chalo, aage hi naheen, peechhe bhi, ooper hi nahin neeche bhi”. and that song got Mannada the Filmfare award, and S-J got for best music…..
and maestro Annu malik, analysing RK’s music after Raj Kapoor’s demise, asked Lataji also that how the music of ”aa ab laut chalen”(jis desh mein ganga behti hai) was composed after Raj sang the ‘mukhada’…..the combination of chorus, violins, and other instruments with Lataji starting ”aajaaaaaa re……. and going to highest pitch of ”TAR SAPTAK” that challenging interlude music how they have done it (to be analysed.)……….(gshroti@gmail.com)…………….
