Chords & notes
Tajurba
Ustad Bhure Khan
Mystica Music, Rs. 195
This is a rare album, since the harmonium is a bit of a neglected instrument in Indian music.
Featuring in concerts of Hindustani music regularly, the harmonium, in the hands of India’s numerous skilled players, produces exquisite music, but it is seldom given pride of place or treated as a solo instrument.
In this album, harmonium wizard Ustad Bhure Khan does not give cause for complaint to followers of this instrument.
Of all the ragas played, Chandrakauns, Bhairavi and Pahari, the last is perhaps the sweetest in its characteristic lilting melody. A good addition to the shelf of the connoisseur as well as the student of Indian music.
Jab We Met
T-Series, Rs.145
Interesting title but not so exciting music. However, as always, Pritam has been able to strike a chord with the masses. Two numbers that really move you are Ye Ishq Hai by Shreya Ghoshal and Tum Se Hi by Mohit C
hauhan. The lyrics by Arshad Kamil touch you and the range in the voice of Shreya and Chauhan make you press the rewind button.
Mohit has come a long way from his Silk Route days. The rest is mostly average stuff. Mauja Hi Mauja by Mika and Nagada Nagada by Sonu Nigam are dance numbers. Another interesting number is Aaoge Jab Tum by Ustad Rashid Khan. This song is composed by Sandesh Shandilya. Go for it if two good songs make an album for you.
