![]() ![]() Ten Shamshad Begum songs that I like (most of which I have discovered in the past few days), and which are actually, in the majority of the cases, not from Hindi cinema. Yet, there was the question of my promise to my readers. I did fit in a small tribute to Shamshad Begum in that post, but I had to say a fonder farewell, with a longer post showcasing this singer’s wonderful, very distinctive voice. Apart from a review of the first full-length Indian feature film ( Raja Harischandra) and a post on 100 years of Hindi film music (and how could I not post that, in a month commemorating Indian cinema’s centenary)?-I have tried to stick to my promise.īut, the day I was posting Songs for all times, I received a sad piece of news: that Shamshad Begum had died, just a little over a week after her 94 th birthday. When I began April 2013 on my blog, I’d promised this month would be dedicated to celebrating 100 years of Indian cinema-not merely Hindi cinema, as I tend to do, but regional language cinema as well.
