Urdu Ghazal and it's Singers

I'll spare you the torture but Urdu Ghazal and it's nuances are truly addictive. More on that in another posting later.

If you are into Urdu Ghazal, surely Anup Jalota is a name that stands out. Famous for his Hindi Bhajans, I was introduced to his work long time back in 1989 when a friend handed a cassette (yeah CDs were not very in back then).

Anup's rendition of Urdu is superb and immaculate. Although, I've caught many a mistakes of pronunciation (yeah, I live near to the Muqtadara Qaumi Zubaan :-) ) in Jagjeet Singh's Albums, not so with Anup.

Here's one of his beautifully sung ghazals. I don't know who's ghazal it is. I suspect it to be of Mahir ul Qadri's but not sure. Beautifully rendered.

This is a long ghazal. If you're not into this genre, skip it. (c) 2007 Anup Jalota
