Daghe Dil Hum ko Yaad Aaanay Lage
The legendary singer of Pakistan or to put it correctly, of Sub-Continent Iqbal Bano has passed away. This closes the chapter of classical ghazal singing to an end. Bano was not a big fan of contemporary Ghazal singing and she was the old school who stressed on the raag itself more than the ghazal’s rhyming compulsions.
She was a big name in Ghazal singing. Her enchanting voice eulogized millions of ghazal fans for decades and will continue to do so as long as Urdu-Hindi language is there and there are people who like this slow rhythming form of performing arts known as ghazal singing. God may bless her.
As a tribute I am putting two of her melody beauties on my blog
