About Jagjit Singh Ghazals : Only Punjab.com Specialz
Jagjit's ghazals brings out the emotional side of ghazal and
poetry lovers. His ghazals do a wonderful job in delivering
tranquility (where "mai-khana" is involved), passion, serenity, pain
("sweet pain" in love), deepness, grief, love and a reminder of
one's own personal past. His voice, a true gift of God has the pain
that an "ashiq" feels after loosing his beloved, the love that a
mother seeks for her child, the tranquility that a "saaqi" delivers,
the strange fear in a boy when she walks in the room. His deep voice
holds the key to perhaps every emotion locked within oneself.
As the pioneer of non-film music wave Jagjit & Chitra have
been greatly instrumental in popularizing Ghazals. They have also
created the music and songs for various films and even TV serials.
Jagjit & Chitra have their fans spread out not only in India but
all over the world. The response to their performances in concerts
has been tremendous. Their ability to establish a rapport with their
audience makes the evening a memorable experience. Looking for new
talents and promoting them has been Jagjit Singh's constant
endeavor. Artistes such as Talat Aziz, Ghanshyam Vaswani, Vinod
Sehgal, Ashok Khosla and Siza Roy are his contribution to the field
of music. Succession awards have been conferred upon him from
several state governments and music associations. Their enchanting
ghazals use the choicest poetry by renowned lyricists like Mirza
Ghalib, Ameer Meenai, Kafeel Aazer, Sudarshan Faakir and Nida Fazli.
The lyrics which stirs an emotive appeal are given mood and life by
Jagjit and Chitra Singh.Songs like "Sarakti Jaye Hai Rukh se Naqab
Aahista Aahista","Aah Ko Chahiye","Baat Nicklegi To Door Talak
Jayegi"and "Woh Kagaz Ki Kashti"are some of his best songs.
