A R Qureshi, Lesser known Music Directors in HFM

sangeetkapremi	May 16 2009, 11:29 PM Post #1
Unregistered	While starting out on this series on lesser known Music Directors, I came across many classical exponents who have tried their skills in film music. I start with a tabla maestro viz, Allah Rakha or A. R. Qureshi as he was known in Hindi film industry. Inputs are from Yogesh Yadav's book. I have found an informative link online: http://www.downmelodylane.com/allarakha.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date of Birth: 24-04-1919 (Gurudaspur, Punjab) Death: 03-02-2000 (Mumbai) Nobody would have imagined that the son of farmer in Punjab would become a Tabla maestro one day. Of his eight children, Allah Rakha's father gave permission to learn tabla to Allah Rakha only. Allah Rakha learned under Ustad Kadir Baksh. He also learnt tabla under Lal Mohammed Sheikh. When Allah Rakha was 16 years old he used to play table for a Theatre troupe. He later joined Lahore Radio then Delhi Radio and finally he came to Mumbai in 1937. He started giving music in films 1942 onwards. He gave music for 40 films. However most of them were for small banners and stunt films. His last film was ‘Id Ka Chand’(1964). He gave music in three Punjabi films. His son Zakir Hussain is a renowned Tabla artist. I will be posting some his song listings and songs soon.
