Ezeregy dal, amit érdemes meghallgatni: 0336 Asha Bhosle: Dum Maro Dum (1971) Writer: | Anand Bakshi, Rahul Dev Burman Producer: | Rahul Dev Burman Label: | Saregama India Ltd. Album | N/A Asha Bhosle was born in Bombay, British India, in 1933, and during her long life she has become arguably the most recorded singer in history. She is especially well known as a Bollywood “playback singer”—these are the singers whose voices come out of the movie stars in the Bollywood movies. She began working as a playback singer in 1943—her older sister, Lata Mangeshkar, was already doing so—and after a disastrous marriage was left to raise three children alone. She raised the funds to bring them up by singing for Bollywood soundtracks. By her own accounts, she has now recorded more than 12,000 songs. “Dum Maro Dum” was recorded in 1971 for the film Hare Krishna Hare Rama and finds Bhosle working with the great Bollywood composer R. D. Burman. This film takes as its theme the migration of Western hippies to Asia, and as the song is played actress Zeenat Aman mimes along on screen, smoking a spliff. (The title of the track translates as “Puff, take a puff.”) Burman cleverly mixes Bollywood effects with rock guitars and psychedelic effects while Asha’s high-pitched voice races along with the frantic music, almost crashing into the repeated “ah ah ah”s from Usha Lyer and the chant of “Hare Krishna Hare Rama.” “Dum Maro Dum” demonstrates just how crazy, funny, and inventive Bollywood soundtracks can be, at their best. youtu.be/DTPp9avA2hQ
