Peenaz Masani, "Shehzadi Tarannum" Options

[swarapriya]

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.

Dhadkan

Here is my first album of ghazals of Peenaz Masani. There are eight ghazals in this album and there are some really beautiful ones. Because of the length of these ghazals I will be uploading them in two installments one right after the other. I am missing names of few lyricists. If anyone can supply the names, it will be great.

Here is a description of the first four ghazals and ghazals themselves ...

"KHOTE DEWANE" is not a separate album, its a track from album LAKEEREIN!

CHANNEL HITS--II is compilation of pop songs from different singers, containing only one song from Penaz's DIL MEIN AANKHON MEIN!
"YUN UNKI BAZM MEIN"--Is it an album of compilation of ghazals of Penaz?

Thanks Erum.

Thanks also for the lyricist names.

Couple of articles on the Internet say that Masani has sung in 10 different languages other than Urdu. But they didn't give any particulars. So I am not much of help here.

Cheers,
Swarapriya

Thanks for this added information. Again, I am not certain whether "Bazm" is an album or just a track. Further exploration may clarify this.
