MTV Beats Celebrates Musical Maestros of Bollywood on World Music Day
by Shrutee K/DNS
Bollywood music is a solace to everyone’s soul regardless of one’s
age. We all have grown up to grooving on the tunes of
R.D. Burman and Asha Bhosale, got serenaded by Mohd. Rafi and Mukesh’s love
notes, hit the dance floor with Bappi Lahiri’s disco numbers and brought out
the romantic in us with Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar’s soulful voices.
Celebrating the journey of music through decades, this World Music
Day, MTV Beats has set a new melodious tune for all the Bollywood music lovers.
For the first time ever, the channel will see more than twenty artistes paying
tribute to musical legends of Bollywood who have created milestones in various
genres.
Here
are some of the heartwarming things that these Legends in the Making had to say about their favorites -
Neeti Mohan on Lata
Mangeshkar
“If I had to take
one name from whom I have personally learnt a lot, that would be Lata ji. Since
childhood I have been listening to all her songs be it non-film, regional etc.
All her live performances and shows have been like a textbook lesson for me. I have
tried singing all her song and I think they are amazing. The kind of technique,
finish and style she has put in her career that is something we all aspire to
do. I think I am representing a lot of singers because not only has she been my
Idol but also the entire nations for the kind of singer or an artist she is. If
you listen to Lata ji you will understand the kind of effort she has put in
with regards to her clarity in pronouncing the words, the control she has on
her breath and her expressions. The kind of effortlessness and sweetness she
has while singing a song, I think it is a god gift. It is beautiful to keep
listening to her songs because that gives you a motivation to perform like her.
So, I think, she is someone whom I’m constantly listening to and will always
keep listening to in and will always associate my musical journey with her.”
Amit
Mishra on Lata Mangeshkar
“Lata ji inspires me a lot. My
favourite song by Lata ji is lag ja gale and I can hear it a million times on
repeat mode.”
Palak Mucchal on
Mohd. Rafi
“Rafi ji ki
makhmali awaz ka jaadoo sadiyon tak apni khushboo hamari zindagiyon mein
bikherta rahega. (Raji ji’s smooth voice will always resonate in our lives)”
Guru
Randhawa on Mohd. Rafi
“Maine
bohat saare accahe artities ko sunna hai but mere favourite ai Mohd. Rafi
Saahab. I
think unhone bohat saara contribute kara hai Indian industry mein. Unhonee jo
bhi gaya who Mishaal bangaya.”
Sachin Sanghvi on Kishor Kumar
“About Kishore da, he is a
living legend. I know it is factually wrong, but he will always live. His voice
will always resonate. His songs and his sense of humour, his performance, on
screen and off screen, the instances we have heard, it’s amazing.”
Jigar Saraiya on Bappi Lahri
“One thing I remember is Disco.
He is one guy who has made music with fun. I feel he makes song while sitting
and standing. His dance music is amazing. When he came back with Uh lala, it
was amazing. He is the guy you would want to sit and have tea with.”
Shalmali
Kholgade on Mukesh Mathur
“I’m
a very old soul. Even my own writing is from deep, dark sad space and that is why
I enjoy his songs and singing style. Jo sajate hai abh voice ko uthni
technology tab thi nahi so who rawness of the song was so hard hitting and
endearing which is why I love Mukeh’s voice so much.”
So,
this World Music Day, tune in to MTV
Beats all day to listen to some soulful music!
