- LATA MANGESHKAR IN A SINDHI ‘AJRAK.’
लता मंगेशकर ने यूं तो कई हिंदी गीतों में अपनी आवाज़ दी , हिंदी के अलावा कई ऐसी भारतीय भाषाएँ भी रही जिसमें हम उनकी आवाज़ का आनंद उठा सकते हैं .कई बार हैरानी होती है कि उस भाषा कि समझ न होने पर भी कोई गायक /गायिकी कैसे इतनी आसानी से उस गाने को न सिर्फ गा जाती है ,बल्कि ये एहसास भी नहीं होने देतीं कि उस भाषा कि उसे समझ नहीं .
फिलहाल सिंधी और गड्वाली ज़ुबान का एक एक गीत.
फिल्म Hal ta bhajee halooN (Let us elope).This is the only Sindhi song which Lata ji had sung – it appeared in a movie called Hal ta Bhajee Haloon (Let us elope) which was released in 1987, the music was composed by C. Arjun…Munhja supreen
Ajrak is a name given to a unique form of block printed shawls and tiles found in Sindh, Pakistan. Ajraks are also worn by the Saraiki people of Southern Punjab and Kutch. These shawls display special designs and patterns made using block printing by stamps.
This is probably the only song sung by Lata in Garhwali language .
Man bharmaige meri sudh-budh khwaige – from the Garhwali film Raibar.
“मन भरमेगे, मेरी सुधबुध ख्वे गे” from Raibar (रैबार) .
