Indian Sound Of Music. ! रुक जा ए हवा, थम जा ए बहार !
A miraculous song from Lata Mangeshkar and Laxmikant-Pyarelal, written by Majrooh Sultapuri, filmed on beautiful actress Saira Bano.
SHAGIRD 1967.
‘ruk ja ai hawa tham ja ae bahar’ !! रुक जा ए हवा, थम जा ए बहार !!. We call the song as An Indian Sound Of Music.
“Prelude” of 59 seconds, has been wonderfully orchestrated to frame the JUNGLE scene.The FLUTE, ACCORDION, CELLOS, SITAR, TANPURA, symphony style VIOLINES and specially the Birds-TWEET, are mellifluously integrated and ends with scintillating take off by Lataji’s AALAP.. Lataji starts singing at 1.00 रुक जा ss…रुक जा ss…रुक जा ss…each time giving the ‘pause’ for 3 seconds without the ‘rhythm’. Enjoy pleasant symphony style CELLOs till 1.34.
Entire song including ‘mukhda’ and ‘antara’ is melodiously synthesized with the surround sounds of “symphony” VIOLINS, around Lataji’s rendering. It has a unique DHOLAK / TABLA rhythm which gripes the listeners, throughout the song.
It is a CHEMISTRY OF Lata Mangeshkar + Laxmikant-Pyarelal = Musical Magic.
