Yes, I have found similar feelings myself.

This is first 'Indian' song I recorded from radio.
I happened to design simple audio signal manipulation program
for compositing purposes and interested immediately on more
complex music than western music. I thought western music is
too simple to simulate.

Najma has put a new album out recently(?).
Please post info to here if you see it.

Hi,

Can someone post information regarding this song- movie, lyrics,music
director. It is a duet with Kishore Kumar being the male singer.
If I remember right it is from a Kishore Kumar- Vaijayanti Mala movie.
Here's how the song goes

"Main madarasi chokari karun pyar ko namaskaram.
main bangali chokara mujhe tumse pyaram........."

I am not very sure of the second line.
Thanks

There are several songs in Roopak Taal. Some come to my mind :

1. Haaye Re Woh Din Kyon Na Aaaye (Lata, movie : Anuradha, Mus Dir :Ravishankar)

2. Chupke Chupke Raat Din	(Ghulam Ali, movie : Nikah)

3. Allah Tero Naam (Asha, movie : Hum Dono, Mus Dir : Jaidev)
  
   * actually this can also be considered as a song in Deepchandi (of 14 beats)

There are also songs in Jhap Taal (10 beats, divided as 2+3+2+3). An example :

Aanso Bharee Hain Yeh Jeevan Ki Raahen (Mukesh, movie :?, Mus Dir : ??)

There are songs in 14 beats (3+4+3+4) in Taals like Deepchandi, Chanchar and 
Kawwali. An example :

1. Yari Hai Iman Mera Yaar Meri Zindagi (Manna dey, movie : Zanjeer, Mus Dir :?) 
  This song is in Chanchar or Kawwali Taal eseentially a variant of Deepchandi. 

And then there are songs in Ek Taal (12 beats) Such songs are mostly of the 
semi-classical variety)
Examples :

1. Ketaki Gulab Joohi Champak Ban Phooley (Manna Dey + Bhimsen Joshi, movie :
Basant Bahaar, Mus Dir: Shankar Jaikishen)

2. Mana Mohana Bade Jhoothey (Lata, movie : Seema, Mus Dir: Shankar Jaikishen ?)

3. Shubh Ghadi Aaayi Re (Perveen +??, ??, ??)

Other taals are raely used in light indian music. In fact the bulk of them
(80 percent or more) are in just two taals - Keharva (8 beats) or dadra (6
beats).

Hope that helps.

Would anyone happen to know anything about Najma?  I do know that she is

Slight correction here. The song in Aaspaas was
'Too kahin aaspaas hai dost' while the one you are
referring to is from the movie 'Poonam' starring 
Raj Babbar-Poonam Dhillon.

Music was composed by Khayyam and not Naushad. Another beautiful song from the
same movie is " Jalta hai badan....." . However, the picturization of the song
was lousy to say the least. Also, it is not an old song at all, although it
does have the melody of some of the golden oldies.

this notation mean? The work preceding, or following it is

This is the hindi version of a very melodious and popular bengali
song by Kishore and Asha: Chiro dini tumi je amar ....
from bengali film: amorsongi (??), which also had Bhappi Da as the music
director.  This hindi version, in my view, is a very mediocre reproduction.
The lyrics are quite poor (e.g., the first stanza, and phrases such as:
...jaise kaho waise chahoon..).  Even though the writer had to adapt
his/her lyrics to a given tune, I am sure a better job was possible.
Finally, Bhappi's singing is horrible (more so, because I have heard
the Kisore-Asha version).  A major flaw with his singing is his
pronounciation of hindi words.  If you get a chance to hear this song,
please pay attention to how he says: nEhI hai koi ... instead of
nahI hai koi ...  It's hard to type the difference but you would
know what I mean when you hear it.
In any case, the tune is very melodious and catchy ...

My sentiments exactly. Although I wouldn't be so harsh on her accompaniment.
Rather, I have to take issue with some of her tunes which seem to have 
little, if any relationship to the lyrics. I admit I have only heard
Qareeb and I'm no expert on Urdu but I do understand it a little. However,
in agreement with Tara I liked "zikar hai apnA mehfil, mehfil . . ." and
"dil lagAyA thA dillagI ke liye . . ." Her use of the sax/oboe/clarinet is
good and the tabla accompaniment is competent if occasionally a bit loud.
I also liked the first track "nInd koI sakUngA pA".

On Sharmila Roy Pommot - that's her full name, married to Monsieur Pommot? -
I too was impressed by her voice on the Mahabharata tracks. I'm not sure
what you mean by "crossover vocalist " though. The songs in Brook's play/film
were definitely Indian, both lyrics and music. Some of them were Sanskrit
shloka-s - from the Vedas and/or the Bhagavat Geeta (?) - and the others were
Rabindrasangeet - songs by Rabindranath Tagore. The tunes for the latter
were definitely the originals by Tagore. 

Recently, SRP has released through HMV/EMI a recording of Rabindrasangeet. 
This is supposed to have got favourable reviews in India. On a recent trip 
through Toronto I picked up this tape. It is good for the most part. On first 
hearing, though, it seemed to me that on one or two songs she and the 
accompanists were having difficulty finding a common "laya" or tempo. I'm 
personally a little sensitive to this issue having tripped up a couple of 
times while accompanying people on the tablA, so it may have been just me. 
Nevertheless, a good tape in a great voice. Definitely recommended.

This brings me to another point. Can we have some discussions on songs in
other Indian languages too? Even if that means many of us will have to
hit the "n" or "k" keys a few times? While there have been occasional
short discussions on songs in the SOuthern languages and Bengali songs
have been referred to in passing (SDB and Salil C) there has hardly been
any sustained discussion on anything other than Hindi, that too filmi,
songs. I'd also like to see some talk on "Gair filmI gIt".

No! The film is Raagini and it is a Kishore-Vaijayantimala movie. I'm not
sure about the music director but would place my bets on Salil Choudhary
or S.D. Burman.
