Mohammed Rafi: commemorated
SONGS BY legendary singer Mohammed Rafi drew a packed house in Mumbai 28 years after his death, and audiences were in for a surprise as an evergreen voice took the stage again, rekindling memories and melodies of an era gone by.

Mujhko apne gale laga lo and Thahariya hosh me aa loon, sung by the forgotten Mubarak Begum wafted across the lush green lawns of the Green Court Club on the city's outskirts Sunday night to commemorate Rafi's 28th death anniversary (July 31), nearly two months in advance on public demand and to avoid the monsoon

Organised by the Mohammed Rafi Foundation, singers of a professional orchestra rendered around 30 popular Rafi numbers.

But the Begum's entry, after about 10 songs were sung, took the Rafi fans by surprise. The crowd was on its feet and welcomed her with a thunderous applause.

The 70-year-old Begum sang the two songs without a note or tune out of place and was given a standing ovation.

The show brought out some rare gems from the music of Rafi and some little-known anecdotes from his life too.

A perfect commemoration for the man, who ruled the film music world and audiences for nearly four decades

Rendezvous with Mubarak Begum Sahiba

on 09-07-2008 12:06

5TH July, 2008 will be remembered by music lovers in Hyderabad as a day of revival of the vintage music of the hfm (hindi film music). For nearly six months now, we have been trying to organize a grand musical show and also invite some well known playback singer of the yesteryears to Hyderabad. The closest we came to was the name of Mubarak Begum Sahiba and our good friend Samarjit Acharjee was in continuous contact with her. Either the glorious singer with the golden voice was not available when we had wanted to organize a show or we were preoccupied with our normal lives and thus we could not go ahead with the idea that remained in our minds. However, we did not lose heart and kept our trials going.

sangeet ka safar get 2nd news from surme(santosh kumar)

The Rafi Foundation at Hyderabad

“Tell us about any incident that you would never forget, Mubarak Ji? Something that brings a smile to your face or brings tears to your eyes…”

“Andhere Chha Rahe Honge, Ke Bijli Kaundh Jayegi, I had just sung till this line from the song Kabhi Tanhaiyon Mein Yun from the film Hamari Yaad Aayegi when” - she paused for a moment to look at the anticipation in the faces in front of her – “the lights went off!” We laugh out loud; she smiles. “Gaane ka aisa asar kisine kabhi dekha nahi hoga,” she says with a twinkle in her eyes. Mubarak Begum chose something amusing over the myriad melancholic things that keep bothering her.

During the three days that I got to spend with her, there were talks about the difficult times and the uncertain future. But there was no resignation in those talks – only a glaring resolve. An acceptance of reality, an amnesia of an absolved past. She agreed for every interview I arranged, without even asking her. “No personal questions, no controversial questions.” She seemed not to be an interviewer’s delight. When asked about how her passion for singing evolved she says, “I never wanted to sing, I was forced to sing by my father.” She is not very happy either about the long walk at and even longer drive from the Shamshabad Airport. You ask her the questions, she gives you her answers. No frills
