Friends, Let me narrate something about Arabian Nights Belly Dance Misirlou Indian Version tune played by me on Harmonica.
The upload of Arabian Nights Belly Dance Part I gave me a lot of confidence in terms of handling the slider in a Charomatic Harmonica. Also, some maturity on handling my breathing. I got a good response from viewers and listener and my own club members.
Thanks for watching.
This gave me a motivation and confidence to attempt another version of Arabian Nights Belly Dance originally played by Mr. Ashok Bhandari Ji. That tune is a real challange for any Harmonica player. A lot of things came in my mind before I decided to attempt this tune. Can I do it? Yes I can, said my heart. Will it be liked by the audiance? No correct answer for this....
People also used to say that couple of other guys attempted to play this but were no where near what Mr. Ashok Ji played. I also saw a Bengali player attempting this tune on stage. He used Hohner 270.... Many things came into my mind but finally I was determined to play this using Hohner 280 C.
Why 280 C ?, because it can respond to more air pressure and may be suitable for Arabic kind of tune. Hohner 270's reads will go out of tune if we use the same air pressure to blow. (This is my opinion, you may differ from this).
What about the Karoke track????
This was the biggest fun... I asked Mr. Ashok Bhandari Ji to give me the karoke if he had. But he did not have this karoke track with him. This was a dead lock for me. Even though I could have prepared the tune, I would not be able to upload because fo unavailability of karoke.
To come out of this loop I had decided to create the karoke track myself. As per my music teacher, I should have atleast given rhythm, base guitar and guitar chords in the track. But as I did not have a good control on Keyboard and correct concept of application of chord. I decided to create only the rhythm. And I was successful in creating that using Cubase.
Believe me, this was a very tough challange but I worked hard to my best and did it, hurrrrrrrrayyyyy .... :-)
