One of my favourite moments of South Asian popular music. It has the outstanding ghazal Tumhare Shaher ka mausam by Qaisar ul Jafri in which Jalota gives an absolutely riveting vocal workout to his rapt audience. He is known for his work on Qatl (1986), Be-Reham (1980) and Dana Paani (1989). This tape was one of a handful I played throughout my year in Pakistan as a student of Urdu. Anup Jalota was born on Jin Nainital, Uttar Pradesh, India. He sang the poems of some of the best poets and always treated the ghazal with reverence and respect. And whereas Udhas ’s ghazals were unabashedly popular, aimed at the genuinely shaarbi (drinkers) market, Jalota’s music had a touch of class. To the non-native Urdu speaker his clear presentation of the lyrics made the whole overwhelming world of Urdu poetry extremely accessible.
His diction and pronunciation was perfect and he had an andaaz (style of delivery) that was unique. I always considered his tapes, at least up to about 1987, to be a class or two above the very populist Pankaj Udhas.
Later, and for the rest of his career he dedicated himself to singing bhajans for which he earned the title Bhajan Samraat (Emperor of Bhajans) from his record company and fans.Ī Punjabi born into a musical family associated with the Sham Chaurasi gharana (school) of classical singing, Anup Jalota was trained and lived for many years in Lucknow. Through the 80’s Jalota was a hugely popular ghazal singer, ranking in sales with Jagjit Singh and later Pankaj Udhas all across South Asia and far into the diaspora, as that first record demonstrated. I found that a great way to build up my vocabulary and understanding of some phraseology and idiom was to listen to Anup Jalota on my Walkman as I trod through the knee-deep snow at the University of Minnesota. I had just started grad school and was getting my head around Urdu, the language of the ghazal. I was given a live recording in the early 80s of Anup Jalota singing to a very appreciative audience in Fiji. Anup Jalota was born in India on Wednesday, J(Baby Boomers Generation). This from the man who was my first introduction to ghazal. He mesmerised everyone around the world with his bhajans and I was one of them," he added.Another old favourite tape. "I think he (Anup Jalota) did the work that even big legends have not done so far. In fact, when I used to sing in my school or anywhere else people used to say 'you are a junior Anup Jalota'," Sonu said. "I have always followed him (Anup Jalota). He also recalls how people used to call him "junior Anup Jalota". Playback singer Sonu Nigam, who has wooed everyone with his songs over decades, has confessed that his singing is inspired by acclaimed bhajan singer Anup Jalota. From her only I learnt Om Jai Jagdish song and used to do puja along with her," he recalled. My mother Shobha Nigam was a very religious woman.
