China Town is a 1962 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy thriller film directed and produced by Shakti Samanta. Written by Ranjan Bose and with music by Ravi. The movie soundtrack didn't have a grand impact on the Indian Populace, but select songs from the albums were declared hits and a track by the name of "Baar Baar Dekho" by Mohammed Rafi went on to become a classic, which is remembered and hummed still to date. The Music of the film was by Ravi and the lyrics were penned by veteran Majrooh Sultanpuri. Almost all the songs were rendered by Mohammed Rafi and Asha Bhosle.

This is a harmonica reprise with backing track composed with garage band.

"Mere Sapno Ki Rani" (transl. The queen of my dreams) is a popular Hindi song from the 1969 Bollywood movie Aradhana. The song was composed by Sachin Dev Burman and performed by Kishore Kumar. In the film, Rajesh Khanna, the male protagonist, sings the song atop an open jeep virtually chasing the heroine, Sharmila Tagore, who was aboard the toy train in Darjeeling (Darjeeling Himalayan Railway).

The song became a superhit in India. Many other versions of this song were made such as the song "Atha Dilisena Hiru" by famous Sri Lankan singer H. R. Jothipala. The song was re-used in the Tamil film, Eli (2015).

This is a Harmonica reprise attempt with backing track composed using Garage Band and Guitar.

Kuthu beats always have high energy and influences you to dance without you knowing.

Presenting some tunes blended with kuthu beats.  

I have used some backing tracks from public domain (B5 Tamizhanda and Dj Gan) which is for pure entertainment.

Sincere thanks to them for the excellent backing tracks.

Happy foot tapping !!

I am now presenting a podcast episode where I play a reprise version of a popular Indian song using Harmonica and Garageband.

The song "Thendral Vanthu Theendumbothu", set in Jaunpuri raga, is sung by Ilaiyaraja himself along with S. Janaki and Ganesh Manivannan.

The 1995 tamil film "Avatharam", for which it was produced, had musical score by Ilaiyaraaja and was released on 9 June 1995 to critical acclaim.

I had posted an acoustic version of the same sometime back. Hope you enjoy this as well.

Magic happens when music crosses borders of language and culture.  Bollywood music director Bappi Lahiri composed this song "Engenge Nee Thaan" for Apoorva Sahodarigal which is a 1983 Tamil Indian feature film directed by R. Thyagarajan. The film stars Karthik, Suresh, Radha, Suhasini and Urvashi in the lead roles.  I am attempting a cover of the same using my harmonica and garage band.
