Haira Haira from Jeans

Jeans is a 1998 Tamil musical and romantic film. Directed and co-written by Shankar and produced by Ashok Amritraj and Murali Manohar, its stars Prashanth, Aishwarya Rai and Nassar in multiple lead roles. Raju Sundaram and Lakshmi, prominent actors from the south Indian film industry, played the roles of the lead characters' relatives in the movie. The film opened to Indian audiences after several delays, on 24 April 1998 just after the Tamil New Year, and in the process, became the most expensive film to be made in India at the time.[2] Despite receiving mixed reviews on the actors' performances and the basic storyline, the film became a major hit at the South Indian box office. Owing to its success, it was later dubbed into the Hindi and Telugu language and released with the same name. The film was nominated by India as its entry for the Best Foreign Language Film for the Academy Awards in 1998.

I along with Tara Balakrishnan present the song 'Haira Haira Hai Raba' from the film Jeans. Tara is a talented singer whom I met in Muziboo. Its been quite sometime since we stated discussing about this song and due to various commitments, we were not able to complete it for a long time. Thanks to Tara for sticking on to the commitment. This song is composed by none other than A R Rehman, sung by Unnikrishnan and SPB Pallavi. Please let us know how you all like it.

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.
