Peenaz Masani, "Shehzadi Tarannum" Options

Peenaz Masani

Apparently Peenaz didn’t even knew Urdu that well when she decided to be a ghazal singer. But since 1981, when she entered the ghazal field, she churned out nearly 30 albums to her credit, averaging little over a one a year. She cut ghazal albums, pop albums, sang in movies, and toured the world either giving concerts or as a goodwill ambassador in behalf of the Government of India. She sang in10 different languages.

She had three gold discs and a platinum disc. She was most recently awarded Padma Shri (last month) by the Government of India. The government of UP bestowed her with the title of “Shehzadi Tarannum� in recognition of her ghazal singing. In India alone she gave over 500 solo performances. In 1992 a book of her ghazals was published.

Here is her discography (this may not be complete).

In the next few weeks we will explore Peenaz’s albums. I am starting this thread at Erum Hashmi’s suggestion. Because I have only a limited number of albums, she will be contributing to this thread as well. If anyone can forward by uploading some of her albums, you are very much welcome to do so. I will let you know when I run out of albums.

Swarapriyaji: Could you repost ALL of the Peenaz Masani collection? I'm unable to find the ghazals anywhere else. Since HF deletes the attachments after 30 days, you may want to post the files in a file uploader site, with the link on HF. Many thanks!

Because this entails quite a bit of time and work on my part my suggestion is to request for a re-upload of some of the albums. That I can do by giving some gap between them. Once this gets going, you can request for more. Hope that is satisfactory.

OK...Here's my initial request: OP Nayyar (pop), Vishkanya (movie), and Lifestory vols 1 and 2. I'll then submit my requests continually. Many-many thanks!

Since HF deletes files after 30 days, would it be better to post files on a free uploader files and pot links, instead, on HF?
