Song in Malkauns Raag

Carrying on with the Bollywood olden-goldies series, I'm now posting a song, sung by Mohammad Rafi in the film 'Baiju Bawra.' The song is in the raag Malkauns - an ancient, and very popular Indian raag.






Found clip on youtube where a young kid sings the song on an Indian singing competition. It's unbelievable how kids this young can sing so well, and have a great control over their voice and pitch. Unfortunatly I think the judge, Sonu Nigam was a bit harsh..



Anyway, an embarrassing attempt to sing shabad in the same raag by, yours truely. hahaha really embarrassing how I went off pitch (and offbeat too once! haha)... Oh well I've had my deal of bad 'performances' (most recently in Norway)
