Nepali people like music: Ghulam Ali
Gazlu those big eyes
Ghazlu those big eyes
became an arrow in this heart
Black long curly hair
Chaal pare Kalilo maama...
The audience welcomed Ustaz Ghulam Ali by singing this famous Nepali ghazal sung by him. Ali accepted the audience's hospitality with a sweet smile. After waiting for about 2 hours, the audience, who were excited to see Ustaz on the stage, started capturing him on camera . Before going on the stage, Utaz had one request, "When I am on the stage, glasses of alcohol should not be seen among the audience."
is not a 'combo' that doesn't go well with ghazal. However, it was also welcome for the audience that Utaz, who appeared on the stage after breaking his fast during Ramadan, did not want to see a glass of alcohol during his performance. When the master started singing, the audience's anxious waiting ended . Ustaz, who started singing ghazals from 'Gori Teri Naina', then sang ghazals including 'Jan Mei Meri Jaan Ai Thi'. While singing the ghazal, Ustaaz continued to praise the Nepali . After singing the ghazal of 'Gori Teri Naina', he said, 'I am very happy today . I got a second chance to come to Nepal. Everyone here likes the tune . The hearts of those who love music are clean and good. As soon as Ali heard the audience clapped enthusiastically . Ali Chatt smiled in the thunder of applause. Ali was accompanied on stage by his son Aamir Ghulam Ali, grandson Nazar Ali Abbas . In that sense, three generations of slaves were present on the stage.
After singing a few ghazals, Ustaz expressed his wish for a request from the audience. ``Now you keep the firmament,'' Ali said, causing a commotion among the audience. Everyone got excited and started chanting - chupke chupke, gazlu ti, why why your picture... The 84-year-old teacher hardly understood the crowd's demand. It is a difficult matter to choose a single title from the famous ghazals of the crowd. So Ali himself sang another song, 'Ae Dil Pagal Dil Mera, Kyun Buz Gaya Awargi' . Ali sang the song in a melodious voice, the audience joined in the constant singing . When Ali would sing the words 'Awargi', the audience would also sing loudly. The event venue 'The Plaza' became buzzing as the audience along with Ali sang 'Awargi'.
After about 20 minutes of presentation, Ali took a break . Milan Moktan of Sadhana Kala Kendra said that he himself brought Asha Bhosle to Nepal and it was not easy to reach Ali. You have come, your presence and arrival will be historic for me. His songs always resonate with us. Ang was the first to hear about bringing Ustaz Ali to Nepal. But today it has become possible," he said.
After a break of 15 minutes, Ustaz Ali Khan Saheb took the stage again. At the same time, lyricist Deepak Jangam was also honored on the stage. He remembered the moments when Deepak recorded 'Kin Kin Photo'. According to Jangam, 40 years ago, Ustaz had said that this song would become popular. '40 years ago, Khan Saab suddenly came to a Nepali program . In a meeting, the song came up . He told that he had only five days. And then we recorded 4 songs," Jangam said, "As soon as he heard your picture of the first song, he said, Allah willing, it will be a super duper hit. This song has a lifespan of 40 years in the history of Nepali song . This is done by the voice of Karisma Khan Saab. The unique form he sang in the ghazal, no matter how much we praise him, it is not enough.'
Aamir, who has been singing with Bavu Ghulam for 15 years, expressed his gratitude for singing with his son in front of the Nepali audience. The voice of these three generations can be heard in the new Nepali Ghazal written by composer Manoj Khadka. "Nepali is not our language, sorry if some words are wrong," Aamir said before introducing the new song. Then these three generations sang, "Ghazal Unkai, Geet Unkai, Katha Unkai Lekhchu Saathi" a new Nepali ghazal. After singing a few parts of the ghazal, Aamir called the composer Khadka on the stage. When Manoj tried to invite the people involved in the song to the stage, the audience who were waiting to hear other songs from Ustaaz said, 'No, no' . Then three generations sang the famous ghazal "Chupke Chupke". Aamir hummed the melody of the song, as soon as Ustaz sang the lyrics of 'Chupke Chupke' in his mature voice, the audience was filled with enthusiasm . When Ali sang this song in a new style, the audience went 'Wah Wah!' The atmosphere of The Plaza heated up when the voices of the audience mingled with the song's permanent 'Chupke Chupke Anshu Bahana Yaad Hai'. "If it is done quietly, it is amazing," said Khan Saheb, looking at the audience. Three generations sang the ghazal of 'Ae Dil Mera...' in unison. Ghulam Ali is also my father, also my guru. It is very difficult for me to sing in front of a maestro like him, said Aamir.
This family who arrived in Kathmandu city did not sing the famous ghazals about the city . While singing 'Hum Teri Sahar Mein Aye Hain, Musafirki Tarah', Aamir made the audience sing along. As if they said, 'Give only one chance to meet', the audience agreed to their request by supporting them. That is, the audience presented their active participation with voice in every song . Even when the Nepali ghazal was not presented for almost 2 hours, the audience continued to chant "Nepali Geet". In 'Ghulam Ali Exclusive Live in Nepal' organized by
Sadhana Kala Kendra and TG Entertainment, songs like 'Humko Kiske Gum Ne Mara', 'Chamakte Huye Chandko Tuta Hua Bana Dala', 'Dilme Ek Laharsi Uthi Hai Abhi', 'Ganjlu Ti Big Big Eyes' were sung by three generations of Khans. While presenting the ghazal of 'Dilme Ek Laharsi Uthi Hai Abhi', Ustaz surprised the audience with his extraordinary singing style. He used to present each ghazal with beautiful melodies. "The love of Nepalese people is like this, while Kathmandu is giving love, our songs are also opening up," Ustaj said. Meanwhile someone said, 'I love you, Ghulam Saab' . Then immediately in response, Ustaz added, 'Love you too'.
After about 3 hours, this family sang a Nepali song, - 'Ganjlu ti big big eye ' . Khan Saheb sang the song in a melodious voice. Even though the words like big thula are used in the lyrics, the voice of Ustaaz was very small while singing this song. After Aamir and Nazar Ali added vocals, the song became humming . The audience also sang along with them, - that long Tika imprint of the forehead remained in this heart... . When Ustaz performed the song with his son and grandson playing the harmonium, the audience shouted "Once More". Addressing the same demand of the audience, Khan Gharana sang again in the final performance, 'Gazlu ti big big eyes' .
