I went with my cousin to buy cassettes to music shop and then she told me that she would like to buy sangam which was new album that time.We bought few cassettes that time and then she told me to put sangam first. I was listening to nusrat fateh ’s voice for the first time.
I didn’t like that voice so I told her to stop the cassette and put something else and she did.. after few days I happened to move to bangalore for further study. There my roommates/seniors used to keep this album on most of the time. As they were seniors to me , I couldn’t deny them so I had no other choice but to listen to that music. But slowly and gradually I developed a taste towards this album. slowly I started understanding meanings of the lyrics of this album. I always consider javed akhtar as a best lyricist and I liked nusrat’s voice too. first I bought cassette for this album but still I felt that this album should be stored life long so I bought cd for me.
All ghazals like afreen afreen, shaher ke dukandaron, jism dhamakta and all. I suggest all you guys to listen to this album , only problem with this album is the words used in this album is too hi fi to understand for normal people who don’t understand urdu at all. I mean for those who is not used to listen to ghazals. but they have kept music so attractive that even without understanding words you can listen to it regularly.
thanx with luv
