Ghoonghroo kee tarah on Harmonica by Avinesh

Dear Friends,
I have come up with one of the best songs of Kishore Kumar of his time.
The song is "Ghoonghroo Ki Tarah Bajta..." from film "Chor Machayae Shor", casting Shashi Kapoor and Mumtaz
Played by me on HOHNER 270 harmonica in the scale of 'C'



As the song is played, I will also show you few rare photographs of Shashi Kapoor, Mumtaz and Kishore Kumar.
Thanks for watching the song patiently. If you like my rendering and want to leave a comment please do it so at my youtube site. I have myself done recording and mixing at home.

If you like to get notations of this song please send me a mail at avinesh.singh@gmail.com or call me up at 09701700069

In case you want to know more about this rendering please read below. I am eager to share it with you.

Why\ How did I select this song ?
In my car, I was listening a CD of live show of Kishore Kumar Ji in which he was presented a golden record in UK. The song was Ghoongroo Kee Tarah...
I decided to try out this song by myself. I checked out if anyone has already played this on Harmonica. Searched youtube but no results. This was interesting. Since long I was thinking that I should take out my own notation of a song and play it on Harmonica. I thought... I got an interesting song and wanted to immediately start with it....
Here we go... Took out my Yamaha keyboard and tried out the song. Was glad to know that the scale was "C". And the mapping of keyboard notes to Harmonica was also good, where ever I thought buttons should be used for the trills, they were coming and in few places I had reversed my blow and used buttons. It was a perfect choice.

Was extremely happy.... Practiced and demonstrated to my father, mother and hubby.
The feedback was good.... :-)

About mixing.... This time it was not difficult because I had to mix and balance only two tracks the Harmonica track that I recorded and the karoke track(I purchased a karoke CD). Used Cubase software to record and mix.

The important thing here is that, I got a very good balance when I mixed this song and I utilized this knowledge to again balance and mix the Main Kahin Kavi Na.. song. Which is not better than the uploaded version in youtube. You can find the link of that song in this site itself (harmonicabyavinesh.blogspot).

Once again, thanks for watching the song patiently. If you like my rendering and want to leave a comment please do it in my blogspot site or in my youtube site.

गाना के बोल
-----------
घुंगरू की तरह बजता ही रहा हूँ मैं
घुंगरू की तरह,
बजता ही रहा हू मैं
कभी इस पग में,
कभी उस पग में
बंधता ही रहा हू मैं

कभी टूट गया, कभी तोडा गया
सौ बार मूज़े फ़िर जोडा गया
यूं ही लूट लूट के, और मित मित के
बनता ही रहा हू मैं

मई करता रहा, औरो की कही
मेरी बात मेरे, दिल ही में रही
कभी मन्दिर मी, कभी महफ़िल में
सजाता ही रहा हू मैं

अपनों में रहे, या गिरो मी
घनूगारू की जगह हैं पैरो मी
फ़िर कैसा गिला ,जग से जो मिला
सता ही रहा हू मई

घुंगरू की तरह,
बजता ही रहा हू मैं…..

Lyric
Ghungroo ki tarah
Bajta hi raha hoon mein
Ghungroo ki tarah
Bajta hi raha hoon mein
Kabhi iis pagh me
Kabhi oos pagh me
Bandhta hi raha hoon mein
Ghungroo ki tarah
Bajta hi raha hoon mein

Kabhi toot gaya
Kabhi toda gaya
Sau baar mujhe
Phir joda gaya
Kabhi toot gaya
Kabhi toda gaya
Sau baar mujhe
Phir joda gaya
Yuhi loot loot ke aur meet meet ke
Banta hi raha hoon mein
Ghungroo ki tarah
Bajta hi raha hoon mein

Mein karta raha
Auron ki kahi
Meri baat mere
Mann hi me rahi
Mein karta raha
Auron ki kahi
Meri baat mere
Mann hi me rahi
Kabhi mandir me
Kabhi mehfil me
Sajta hi raha hoon mein
Ghungroo ki tarah
Bajta hi raha hoon mein

Apnon me rahe
Ya gairon me
Ghungroo ki jagah
To hai pairon me
Apnon me rahe
Ya gairon me
Ghungroo ki jagah
To hai pairon me
Phir kaisa gila
Jag se jo mila
Sahta hi raha hoon mein
Ghungroo ki tarah
Bajta hi raha hoon mein
Ghungroo ki tarah
Bajta hi raha hoon mein
Bajta hi raha hoon mein
