ASHA BHOSLE IBD

Sinopse

From the sultry whispers of ?Dum maro dum? to the fun-filled ?Eena meena deeka?, Asha Bhosle?s voice has been the palette that has been painting the emotions of generations. What?s the story behind the voice which turned melodies into masterpieces? Asha began her career in 1943, when she was just a ten-year-old. It was not an easy climb for her, since she had personal hurdles to deal with, as well as the huge speedbump of an older sister - Lata Mangeshkar - who was already an established name. However, Asha?s undeniable innate talent and perseverance paid off. She made a name for herself as a singer who conveyed emotions like playfulness, flirtation, seduction and vampiness, with songs like ?Aaja aaja?, ?O mere sona re? and ?Yeh mera dil?. But there was another side to her musicality, with National Award- winning songs from films like Umrao Jaan, for which she sang ?Dil cheez kya hai?, ?In aakhon ki masti and more, and Ijaazat, her emotion-filled voice reflecting shades of pain, loss, love and untold longing in ?Mera kuch samaan?. Discover how Asha, armed with an alto that could tickle your soul, collaborated with legends from O.P. Nayyar to the Kronos Quartet, creating a symphony that bridged the East and the West. Packed with rare anecdotes and intriguing backstage happenings, this book examines Asha?s music, focusing mainly on the people who helped her earn the limelight, and the evolution of her sound, highlighting her remarkable versatility over the years.
