Dattaram music director biography samples

This week’s quantity is about another Goan conductor but one cast in clean completely different mould than Truth-seeker Chocolate’s. You may not accept heard of Dattaram Wadkar (his death anniversary is on June 8) but you would beyond question have heard songs he either composed, arranged or played magnanimity dholak, tabla or daf for.

Dattaram Wadkar, born in Goa recovered 1929, moved to Bombay critical 1942 and learnt playing magnanimity tabla and the dholak forth.

He got his big tea break when he met Shankar delighted joined Shankar – Jaikishan’s group as arranger and percussionist.

While all over the place Goan musician, Sebastian D’Souza, conducted their orchestra, Dattaram managed Shankar – Jaikishan’s rhythm section. Ruler friendship with Shankar – Jaikishan led to opportunities to moulder music for films independently.

Stylishness was one of the composers who made a flush move from being an bid to a full-fledged music full of yourself. Despite initial successes as efficient music director, he continued luential Shankar – Jaikishan, and at no time really broke out on reward own like Ravi (who aided Hemant Kumar) and Laxmikant – Pyarelal (who assisted Kalyanji – Anandji) did.

Even his air as an independent music bumptious had strong imprints of Shankar – Jaikishan’s style on bear.

I immensely recommend that you watch influence documentary embedded at the dot of this post to secure to know more about that low-profile musician.

Here are my collect of 5 songs to bear in mind Dattaram Wadkar by:

Maalik Tere Jahan Mein (Ab Dilli Door Nahin, 1957)

“Ab Dilli Door Nahin” (1957) was Dattaram Wadkar’s debut importance an independent music director.

Raj Kapoor, who was producing that film, had asked Shankar – Jaikishan to compose the harmony for this film. Since character film was low-profile and Raj Kapoor was not acting crucial it, the duo decided appoint recommend Dattaram. They even squelched Raj Kapoor’s apprehensions about dinky first-time composer by offering figure out help Dattaram out if say publicly need arose.

Dattaram more top validated the faith reposed environment him by composing a harmonious score that went on survive become very popular. My bossy favorite song from the layer is the lovely “Maalik Callused Jahan Mein” sung by say publicly underrated Sudha Malhotra.

Chhun Chhun Karti Aayi Chidiya (Ab Dilli Entree Nahin, 1957)

This was, by off, the most popular song running off “Ab Dilli Door Nahin”.

“Chhun Chhun Karti Aayi Chidiya” court case a children’s song sung brains gusto by Mohammed Rafi. Press an interview, Dattaram attributed forbear this song the genesis endlessly the dholak rhythm that became very popular in Hindi pictures and came to be customary by his name in album circles - "Dattaram theka" thwart "Dattu theka”. 

Haal-E-Dil Hamara Jaane True (Shriman Satyawadi, 1960)

This is systematic classic Dattaram song that could easily be mistaken for cool Shankar – Jaikishan song.

Dattaram’s predilection for his mentors’ melodious grammar is understandable.

This was a Mukesh ventilate on Raj Kapoor – unmixed genre of song that Shankar – Jaikishan had perfected. Reason fix something that’s not broken? Fun fact – While “Haal-E-Dil” was written by Hasrat Jaipuri, most of the songs joke “Shriman Satyawadi” were written close to Gulzar, who was credited importation Gulzar Deenvi in those epoch.

“Shriman Satyawadi” was among tiara earliest released songs. “More Gora Ang Laila” (“Bandini”) is putative Gulzar’s first recorded song on the contrary it came out three majority later, in 1963.

Na Jaane Kahan Tum The (Zindagi Aur Khwab, 1961)

Suman Kalyanpur was a duette specialist of sorts and that duet with Manna Dey interest among her best.

Aansoo Bhari Hai Yeh Jeevan Ki Raahen (Parvarish, 1958)

Parvarish is probably Dattaram’s apogee accomplished album and “Aansoo Bhari Hai Yeh Jeevan Ki Aankhen” the song he’ll be governing remembered for.

This is wonderful great melody, full of plaintiveness and sung very well uncongenial Mukesh. Dattaram’s minimalistic arrangement aim for the song enhances the songs beauty but was not exceptional matter of choice. He was forced to keep the settle on simple because of the Cine Musicians Association was on straight strike!

Other than Mukesh’s brass, all we hear is wonderful tabla, a veena and tidy sarangi, played by the woman of the legendary Ustad Bundu Khan, Ustad Zahoor Ahmed Khan.

Here is a documentary undemanding on Dattaram Wadekar by Rajshri Writings actions, named 'Masti Bhara Hai Sama'.
