Rafi & Lata in "Swapna Sundari", 1958

A very popular song, and one that I like most.

Haha. Nice one, his pronounciation here is so funny. I wonder how MSG was playing for him so early on! :wink

that was actually a filler in one of the spools i was converting.though just two minutes in length, i had preserved it because it is was such a lovely bit..

Thanks, SRkris - Kuhu Kuhu is one of my all time favourites too. Recently I heard a lovely Karaharapriya in Missiamma, a 1962 tamil movie. It is the scene where Jamuna Rani dances for Gemini GAnesan and Savithri. Seems like this song never became as popular as Varayao Vennilave.

Chithra do you mean 'ariyA paruvamadA, madhanA'? That song I think marks the first song P. Sushila sang in Tamil Movies!

This is specially for Chembai: remember the divine 'kuhU kuhU bOlE' you posted with the bouquet of rAgs?
Here is the tamizh version of that song, sung by I think Jikki and Ghantasala...

The sound is not as pristine as the original one you posted....

Ravi,

Thanks. 8)

Nothing to beat Rafi and Lata, though. This is close (mainly because of the music) but the original is electrifying.

Absolutely true...
The music seems to have been lifted straight off....

I am posting this song for only one reason. I first heard it sometimes in early 80s. By 1990 i must have played it more than 50 times. From 1990 till 10.08.06 the song was lost. Some friends must have thought that their need for the tape was more than mine. Great piece. Enjoy. 1.4 Mb-64 kbps
