Product Description
Since 1949, when Lata Mangeshkar was first noticed for her extraordinary singing talent in the Mahal song "Aayega aanewala", her magical voice has taken a firm hold of the Indian imagination. The tuneful purity and timeless quality of her voice have had a profound impact. For over six decades, as the much loved singer, she has reigned supreme in Indian film music and has been conferred in 2001, the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour. Lata Mangeshkar has recorded more songs than anyone else in the world and yet, despite her extraordinary fame, she is a deeply private person who has mostly shied away from glitz and glamour. "Lata Mangeshkar - in Her Own Voice", a series of fascinating conversations between Lata Mangeshkar and Nasreen Munni Kabir, takes us into the world of India's most gifted singer and reveals the person behind the voice that has provided the soundtrack for the lives of billions. ...

3-0 out of 5 stars Authoritative Filmography, A Little Repetitive...
I have read the "authorized biography" by Harish Bhimani and had heard that Bharatan's version is a little scandalous. Bharatan's version comes across as being a little more blunt of course, but Lata doesn't really come out in a negative light in the book in my opinion. Bharatan is definitely an expert on Lata's career, and this book is more of a filmography than a biography in many aspects, as compared to the Bhimani book. Bharatan tends to repeat many incidents and facts over and over throughout the book, which sometimes makes the narrative seem a little slow. However, this is still a good read, and certainly a good collector's item for Lata's fans for her songs through 1994 or so.

5-0 out of 5 stars No Wonder it is out of stock!!
If there is anyone who can write a book on Lata Mangeshkar, it is Raju Bharatan.He has been associated with hindi film music for over four decades now.This book gives us an insight on Lata's aura, charisma, her struggleand also little known facts, dispute with Rafi.Read for yourself howdifferent music directors rate her. This is a no-holds-barred,no-punches-pulled account of the most unputdownable performer in the world.A 'must-buy' for all hindi film music lovers. ... Read more

Auszug: Trilok Gurtu (* 30. Oktober 1951 in Bombay) ist ein indischer Perkussionist und Sänger, der vor allem als Vermittler zwischen indischen und westlichen Musik-Traditionen berühmt geworden ist. Während man ihn Mitte der 1980er-Jahre als zugehörig zur Welt des Jazz gesehen hat, gilt er seit Mitte der Neunziger als Vertreter der Weltmusik. Im neuen Jahrhundert sucht er mehr als zuvor die Zusammenarbeit mit Musikern aus seiner alten Heimat, bleibt dabei aber seiner Wahlheimat Hamburg treu. Trilok Gurtu wurde in eine musikalische Familie in Bombay hineingeboren. Seinen Großvater bezeichnet Gurtu als einen sehr guten Sitar-Spieler, sagt allerdings, dass dieser Großvater auf Auftritte verzichtet hat, da es aus finanzieller Sicht keine Notwendigkeit dafür gab. Seine Mutter, Shobha Gurtu dagegen trat mit ihrer Kunst, dem klassischen nordindischen Gesang, öffentlich auf. Sie gilt als eine der größten Sängerinnen ihres Landes. Gurtu hat in mehreren Interviews berichtet, dass er in der Kindheit ständig Musik um sich herum hatte und dass er von seiner Umgebung zu musikalischen Übungen angehalten wurde. Bereits im Alter von fünf Jahren begann er, die Tablas zu spielen. Wichtige Anregungen kamen dabei von seinem älteren Bruder, Ravi, der sich vor ihm bereits auf die Perkussion ...http://booksllc.net/?l=de&id=499961 ... Read more

Depuis 1979, elle a enregistré nombre de chansons célèbres à Bollywood. D'origine Gujarati, sa mère Shubha Yagnik était une chanteuse de musique hindoustanie et voulait transmettre cet héritage à sa fille. Dès l'âge de 6 ans, Alka commença à chanter des bhajans pour la Calcutta Radio et à 10 ans, sa mère l'emmena à Mumbai en tant qu'enfant artiste. Malgré des réticences vu son jeune âge, elle obtînt néanmoins d'être entendu par Raj Kapoor qui l'envoya aussitôt auprès du producteur Laxmikant, qui lui offrit soit de faire du doublage immédiatement, soit de chanter plus tard (ce qu'elle choisit). Elle obtient son premier succès avec le film Payal Ki Jhankaar en 1979, puis Laawaris (1981) et Hamari Bahu Alka (1982). La chanson Ek Do Teen du film Tezaab (1988) fut son plus grand succès et le début de ses récompenses artistiques (Filmfare Award de la Meilleure chanteuse de playback).

Lata Mangeshkar is a singer from India. She is one of the best-known playback singers in the Hindi film industry. Mangeshkar's career started in 1942 and has spanned over six and a half decades. She sang in over a thousand Bollywood movies and has sung songs in over twenty regional Indian languages, but primarily in Hindi. She is the elder sister of the equally accomplished singer Asha Bhosle and lesser-known singers, brother Hridayanath Mangeshkar and sisters Usha Mangeshkar and Meena Mangeshkar. Lata is the second vocalist ever to have received the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour.Mangeshkar was featured in the Guiness Book of World Records from 1974 to 1991 for having made the most recordings in the world. The claim was that she had recorded no less than 25,000 solo, duet, and chorus-backed songs in 20 Indian languages between 1948 to 1974 (30,000 songs between 1948 and 1987, according to the 1987 edition). Over the years, while several sources have supported this claim, others have raised concerns over its veracity, claiming that this number was highly exaggerated and that Mangeshkar's sister, Asha Bhosle, had more song recordings than she had. ...
