Ascharyamoyee Dasi – Ham jaayenge kasade dile divaanaa jahaan ho – Number OE. 130

A lucky cheap find on the Internet. From the obscure Dum Dum, India label The Twin. The legendary

and revered female singer Ascharyamoyee Dasi singing a traditional Urdu ghazal: Ham jaayenge

kasade dile divaannaa jahaan ho. This is devotional music: in praise of the Most High: with a backing

band of harmonium, hand drums, hand claps, and voices: this music seems to be related to the later art

of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (1948 – 1997) , master singer (genius) of Pakistani quawwali music.

Super rare in any format: a document as much as a song about a different time in India.

I can not determine the year of this recording. No idea. Maybe between 1935 and 1955?
