Mumbai, October 17, 2008: BIG Music added another feather to its cap with the launch of its latest album – Generations. Legends of Indian music – Ghulam Ali and Asha Bhosle come together after nearly two decades with their latest renditions in the soul stirring album ‘Generations’. Composed by Amir Ali, Ghulam Ali’s son, ‘Generations’ is a romantic album with light romantic lyrics.
Speaking at the launch, Kulmeet Makkar, CEO, BIG Music & Home Entertainment, said, “It is indeed a great honor for Big Music to release ‘Generations. It is an album filled with soulful melody and emotions. Ghulam Ali and Asha Bhosle are undoubtedly two of the most renowned and established musicians in the industry and we are proud to bring one of their finest works to the listeners.”
The resplendent Asha Bhosle, spoke of her long musical journey and her association with Ghulam Ali. “I began my career in 1943. Ghulam Ali began his musical journey after mine and his son Aamir is just starting his. There are 3 ‘generations’ in this album. Keeping this in mind, BIG Music aptly titled the album ‘Generations’, as it denotes Artistes from different times and eras, yet coming together to create what they know best. Soon, the artistes of my ‘generation’ will take their place in the annals of time. What will remain for future ‘generations’ is their legacy and dedicated work in musical works like this album. I am happy to be featured on this album and I thank BIG Music for bringing us all together and for keeping melody alive in these dark ages of music. I hope that past, present and future ‘generations’ appreciate ‘Generations'”.
Ghulam Ali too spoke about his favourite artiste, Asha Bhosle, “I wonder how she managed to do so much as an artiste. What Asha Bhosle has achieved in one lifetime is almost like a dream come true for any performer. I have the honour and pleasure of performing with her and always look forward to our musical journey together”.
The 12 track bonanza, Generations’ features some of the most melodious songs heard in the recent past. Lovers of the sarod and the flute will enjoy songs like ‘Socho Mei Gum Kyoon Hoon’ and ‘Shaam Se’ which is a meditative melody that exhibits the class of the two artists rendering an intricate melody. Music videos of melodic songs like ‘Naina Re’, a glittering composition that befits the vocal talents of Asha Bhosle and Ghulam Ali and ‘Dheere Dheere’ which is a geet-numa ghazal were also launched.
Ghulam Ali’s solo ‘Dil Se’, is a well orchestrated ghazal that talks about the pangs of separation. ‘Ek Lamhe’ is a lament about lost love. Dil Bichadnese’, a traditional Ghazal, delving into a somber mood by Asha Bhosle’s is a master class in vocalizing barring no-holds. ‘Tore Bina’, is like a breath of fresh air with a superb rhythm pattern; a flawless act by the veteran diva.
