Hangama Hai Kyon - Ghulam Ali Classic

Ghulam Ali ( born 1940) is a famous Pakistani ghazal singer of the Patiala gharana. Ali was born in the village of Kaleke in the Sialkot District of Punjab, pre-partition India (now in Pakistan). He belongs to a musical family, his father was a vocalist and a sarangi player who initiated Ghulam Ali to music from his childhood.Ali's father named him after Bade Ghulam Ali. At 15, he became a student of Bade Ghulam Ali Khan, a master of the Patiala Gharana (Patiala School) of Hindustani music. Due to the busy schedule of Bade Ghulam Ali, he was trained mainly by Bade Ghulam Ali Khan's three brothers, Barqat Ali Khan, Mubarak Ali Khan, and Amanat Ali Khan, in Lahore. All these distinguished classical musicians taught him the finer nuances of classical music. His solid foundation of classical music included studying Thumri and learning to sing raga.Ali started singing for Radio Lahore in 1960. Along with singing ghazals, Ghulam Ali composes music for his ghazals. His compositions are raga-based and sometimes include a scientific mixture of ragas. He is known for blending gharana-gaayaki into ghazal and this gives his singing the capability to touch hearts. He beautifully sings Punjabi songs too. Most of his Punjabi songs have been extremely popular. Though from Pakistan, Ghulam Ali remains as popular in India as in Pakistan.

For me Ghulam Ali is God of Music. Its very difficult to reproduce the finest nauences that he bring into his Ghazals. I am attempting the classic 'Hangama Hai Kyon' here. I love this Ghazal very much.Apologies in advance for any pronounciation issues and ofcourse dont compare with the originals.I dont think anyone can sing like or even make it close to the maestro.I am not that good in hindi :-).Please let me know how you all like it.
